Illustrator is best for vector graphics, yes, which makes it ideal for logos because you typically don't want to lose graphic quality when you're scaling them up or down, which makes Illustrator a great application to be used with Flash since Flash is primarily vector based as well. And if you intend on making Flash based websites, then Illustrator will also be one of your primary tools. You will still use Photoshop for things like improving images.
Generally, whenever you want to create something, but plan to scale it up or down without losing graphics quality, Illustrator is a must.
I personally use it for creating logos (as mentioned above), pdf documents, resumes, reports, page layouts that will be used for print, and Flash web interfaces.
Illustrator works in CMYK mode. This is very important to point out. Photoshop can work in CMYK mode, but mainly works in RGB mode.
Costs $600 for the full program, $200 for the upgrade. System Requirements (http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/systemreqs/):
