i dont understand what gap the h55/h57 are meant to be filling. is it worse than the p55 or better? is it just for i3 support? does p55 support i3? how much worse are h55/h57 than x58

The H55/H57 chipsets support the use of the on-board graphics on the Clarkdale Core i3/i5 CPUs. It is possible to run Clarkdale i3/i5 CPUs on a P55 but the graphics will not work.

I don't see those CPU's selling much, not until the price drops significantly. An I5-650 cost as much as a decent cpu+gfx combo from AMD which would obliterate it in everything but heavy cpu tasks, and even there lots of software is going be able to offload some of the work to the gfx. Give me an 'I5-650' without the gfx and i could see myself getting it. This type of a cpu will probably be cost effective somewhere down the line but not quite yet.
