Personally I wish all sites used this instead of scribd/slideshare or opening up external programs.
This will just work on different browsers, different OS etc.
Plus you can send links like this: http://mozilla.github.com/pdf.js/web/viewer.html#page=6&...
To send a user to s specific part of the page. Right now usually you just send the pdf link and have to say, "check out the image on page 6".
Keeping the pdf in the browser and accessible to and from javascript opens up a world of possibilities.

For values of "different" that mean "as long as they all have fast processors and accelerated JavaScript". I tried this in a non-Apple browser on my iPad, which means no JITted Javascript interpreter, and it basically hung. I haven't even attempted it on my smartphone, which does have a native PDF-reading application.
