Imagine a business logo. Instead of being a static image, it could be a scalable graphic that can be used in any context, mobile or otherwise, and any text within the logo could be both human and machine readable. If the SVG logo is used on other pages it can easily be identified as the same logo elsewhere.
Also imagine a 2D game. All graphics are scalable. This means a mobile user and a traditional user will both be able to use the game and it will be scaled to be viewable on their screen without having to change the program at all. Those are just two quick examples..
