Because it doesn't have a SIM card,the battery doesn't get drained trying to get a signal on the Sprint network. It has an incredible speaker, it is water resistant, and it is somewhat rugged, so one can blast the music while taking a shower and not worry about condensation.

Its smaller form factor and daylight-readable screen make it an almost ideal e-reader on a crowded subway/bus. Similarly, when doing fieldwork, one can surreptitiously consult project-related documents / take photos before anyone notices.
