I can see the wifi+3G being good as a tablet in a car as in-car navigation (the iPad seems to be the only tablet that you can charge off a USB port, every other tablet with GPS requires a power outlet requiring an inverter etc).

Seems like Apple are wanting to cash in on the small screen tablet market, but why such a low resolution for the size? The resolution would be acceptable at 7" but not at 8".
