I think you've hit the appeal nail on the head: it's a simple, fast, efficient and pretty(enough) OS with some interesting/entertaining apps (the augmented reality stuff has a lot of potential).
I agree, it's very much an iPhone compeditor rather than a WinMo threat. An alternative to the iPhone for those who want a little more control over their smartphone, but who don't necessarily want the technical intricisies of a Windows Modile device. For a device primarily used as a PHONE and basic e-mail & text device... I would love Android. I really have the hots for the Verizon Aris as a take anywhere bang-around smartphone.
It's just hard to get away from the fact that WinMo (depite it's age and general perception) is a much more capable pocket COMPUTER.
