That's a fair point, definitely they're trying to manufacture a market rather than tap into an existing market. For myself, I can definitely see it filling a role between my 19 inch macbook pro (great computer, but too big to carry around everywhere I go), and my iphone. And when I'm sitting around on the couch and browsing the web or watching something on my laptop, much of the laptop is overkill for the amount of keystrokes and clicks that I make. I won't be an early adopter, though; I only just got an iphone, and it'll be at least a couple years before I could justify a gadget like this.
