It seems to me like with any mobile device, once the "Oh this thing is cool, and I'm going to play with it" phase wears off. Most people are just content using any mobile device in a way that benefits them, easily, and conveniently.

Music is an obvious avenue for mobile success - there's still lots of tedium to our everyday lives, and there are many places where music can fill in those gaps (car, gym, park, DMV, etc) I work as a Systems Engineer, and I don't carry a blackberry or Treo - I refuse to, I don't WANT the temptation to write and respond to emails while I'm eating my breakfast before work. That's a different topic, but the device needs to substantially make my life better in a way bringing my laptop with me can't - and I just don't see the benefit yet.
