I believe the device overall is a huge fail. Just a large iPhone with all of it's same problems. The missing SDHC card reader and the reliance on iTunes makes this a no-sale for me. Here is my take with the information I have heard so far:
Win:
10 hour battery life
9.7” screen
Half inch thick
ePub support
Video support
Multi-touch
Bluetooth
Wi-Fi
Accelerometer
Fail:
No SDHC or SDXC card reader built-in
Tied to iTunes
$130 for 3G ability
Border around screen too large
Apps from their app store only
4:3 aspect ratio
Proprietary sync cable instead of mini USB
No USB ports on device
