Hi!
Just curious about what people were planning on using their Raspberry Pi's for once they started getting them!??
Current plan- SFF Media PC / NAS etc mounted onto the VESA on the back of my TV
Later plan- Replace car stereo etc with RPi
Probably not the most origional use there but still, godda start somewhere!
My plan is to use RasPi for ... everything. 
It's the first Linux device with Ethernet at a price that makes it viable to "buy a ton of them, use one per task".
Among the candidate applications:
- Home automation, networked controls and sensors on everything from lights to appliances (currently use X10).
- Home security, all PIRs, door and window triggers and the alarms networked and calling out to cellphone.
- Home entertainment, with the usual XBMC or MythTV in the living room and slave nodes around the house.
- High level access/monitoring of 3D printer (low-level realtime control is done by a dedicated microcontroller).
- Thin client workstations in all rooms, linked to the main home computer systems.
- Voice recognition and control, recognized commands routed to wherever is appropriate over the network.
- Servers for many different things, one RasPi per application: for example a wiki for my cooking recipes.
- Experimental RasPi clusters. I have a background in parallelism and concurrency, this is going to be fun.
- Music making, controlling my many dumb MIDI devices and giving them a level of musical intelligence.
- Open gaming system. It's early days in this scene, but with millions of RasPi around, the day will come. :-)
And so on ...
When I first saw the RPi, home automation was one of the first things I though of. It's such an inexpensive but powerful device. I like your thinking
