So the main question is whether you're willing to trade off 6-9 months of use for the strong possibility that come early next year you'll be want to buy the next generation model because of some new feature.
Remarkably Apple's products do seem to retain a fair degree of resale value, so you might be able to get some of the cost back.

I want one so I can get away from Big Brother and use Flickr, Twitter, FB (and of course lawtalkers) without IT looming over my shoulder. I'd also use it for storing PDFs (knitting patterns). Oh, and watch baseball. Only reason I haven't ponied up for the full version of AtBat is the tiny screen and the fact that I don't want to drain my phone battery.
Don't really care about the lack of a camera since I always have at least one with me.
ETA: I have also pondered a Netbook.
(I'm really good at justifying this potential purchase.)
