I got it because I was facing a 22+ hour series of flights, and I needed some distraction... it worked beautifully, between the crossword puzzles app, the downloaded movies, and the itunes. The tiny screen is so sharp that after a few minutes of watching a movie, you forget what a small screen your watching it on.
I'm not gonna say I love it though, until they give me copy and paste.
It would also be super cool for jet-setters like myself if Skype was available so you could make free international calls over wi-fi.
I got the 8 gig which may have been a mistake....
