Be sure to shop around before purchasing. I have seen the Go! sold for up to 50% off retail price. Some places to check are eBay, http://www.ShoppersRule.com (offer 50% and see what price they come back with), http://www.sewforless.com , and here is a link for it on Amazon:

I love the Go!.. Ive got almost all the dies...
It does have limitations (In my opinion),
it does waste more fabric than rotary cutting, but the Go! is more accurate than I am so its well worth it for me.. I use the 2in sq & Hexagon dies for leftover smaller scrap pieces.. and yes depending on what your cutting you can only have so many layers so don't expect to cut 12 layers at a time on the Go! my average is 3-5 layers at a time..

To answer your question, it cuts fabric. The piece with the blades in it (most are square or rectangle) are called "dies".
