The device should definately be compared to a smaller iPad with 3G for price and functionality. I don't think these prices will cut it on today's tablet market. It looks beautiful though. Some people may not like me saying this, but lets be realistic. This device isn't going to win any real market share until it has a compelling price. Being smaller and offering no low-budget version ( a no 3G/plan version) will make it an issue for many just looking for a bigger iPod Touch (a serious market for many people like me looking for their next portable device). I'll believe the success of this device when I see it with my own eyes, but I don't think this will be replacing many iPads, Kindles, Nooks, or whatever device most people are using for entertainment right now. Final verdict: far too expensive and likely to only end up with a small niche market which will have some dedicated users until Samsung pulls a Nokia and cuts support/development on the device out from under the users due to low profitability.
