I agree...they'll take off if they're free with contract, or $50 max, and the unlimited data plans are cheaper than a typical smartphone (in the same way MetroPCS unlimited talk/text/web plans are $40 vs Sprint's $99 Simply Everything plan). About the cloud aspect, the most intriguing possibility for me is that if the Kin is like a gateway drug, when the teens are ready to move up to Windows 7, migration will be even less painless than connecting to iTunes on a PC or Mac. It also opens the possibility to continue conversations across platforms (e.g. XBox, Tablet, web, Zune, etc) and have them all in sync.
