I could be wrong but Akonadi's goal seems to be to simplify kdepim data storage by using a standard DB engine that "just works" instead of custom application-specific and mutually-incompatible DB-like code. If it works, everything's fine and we will benefit from advanced optimisations of SQL engines. And from my own experience it finally works in KDE 4.8.
Akonadi is a patch for a major design flaw of KDE4, that by itself breaks KISS. E.g. how can I access a "akonadi DB" from commandline?
