What is its intended purpose?
It can't be "typing stuff" because it's no better than a netbook for that. If you want to type things I think the cheapest full-size notebook or netbook with a full-size keyboard would be the best option.
I guess it's a mobile internet device, but so is the iPod Touch, which is basically the same thing but smaller and cheaper. But the iPod Touch is really just a toy like Wrao said.
It looks kind of fun but I'm not sure what it's actually useful for. Then again, I guess that's all the internet is for. And who am I to talk... I love my computer, which is a desktop running Windows and connected to the internet via a wired ethernet connection. I have no use for wireless anything.
