Brad Fitzpatrick talks about it as a "data dump truck". You put everything you have into it, and it takes it when you want it to go.
What's cool is that you can abstract where it's stored... want to use S3? Point your data there. Google Drive? Point your data there. Instead of the user interface and middleware of syncing and storing being directly tied to a storage backend (a la Dropbox, Google Drive), Camlistore allows you to separate it.
At least that's how I think of it... I might be wrong. :)
