I just bought one. I want a computer that I can keep on all the time and be exposed on the public Internet. Instead of paying for a bunch of cloud services, I can install the software on this server and have "my own" Dropbox, radio streaming, static blog hosting, etc.
It also features an 800 MHz ARM. I does only have 256 MB RAM, but does a decent job so far. Couchpotato/Sickbeard + sabnzbd + transmission run fine. Timemachine backups also used to work fine, at the moment I have a little bit of a problem with them. That might be due to me hacking arround on the system too much though :)
Some of the more popular ones:
1. Sync your files to the TonidoPlug, ala a private "Dropbox"
2. Stream your music whereever you are
3. Remote access to your files and photos

what are the use cases for these kinds of devices?

Another use case: RSS + torrent client.

I have them running on a WD MyBook Live [0].
