While the hardware is incredibly important, the software is what's going to shoot this form factor to the top. I'm sure there will be many imitators that get close to the form factor with lackluster software that brings the overall UX down.

On a hardware note, I bet Apple is extremely happy not to have to support x86 legacy cruft.

I wonder how long it will take before someone manages to slap linux on it.

X seems to be pretty dependent on its pointer though, there would be quite a bit of work in there to make a platform that you can develop applications for.
