What I've read from the first reviews so far it's too underpowered to be a replacement for even a netbook and too expensive to be only used as an eReader, and the adapted iPhone OS still won't do multitasking. The GSM variant won't let you use it as a phone, or even write text messages.
IMO, it's a glorified, over-prized lifestyle piece, and I know better things to spend my money on.
