I can't see anyone using as much bandwidth as a laptop on a uni-tasking device.

It's not just half the price of the broadband access data plans, it comes without a contract - you can cancel at any time, no penalty. The iPhone $30 plan (on a much smaller device, mind you) requires a 24 month contract with a penalty for ending it early; the broadband access plans are double the price with a 24 month contract.
Since the iPad is unlocked, it also means that you could get a data SIM if you are traveling where you would normally roam, I expect. Though those details will be coming later...
