If I remember right it was primarily marketed as a:
- web surfing device
- PMP (video, music playback)
- e-book reader
You might find serious applications for all of these features (e.g. reading textbooks), but they are mostly associated with entertainment.
Also, while it does sport all the necessary capabilities, the iphone doesn't exactly shine in any of the above applications, mainly due to the small screen.
