It's the lacking of games! .. I think you will find a Nintendo DS or Sony PSP the perfect device for you, they just need to get email working on them. If the majority of the AppStore is going to be entertainment focused Apple will never get Enterprise traction and be labeled just another ipod gadget.

Simplistic? I think people have been living under a rock the past year or so.

Telenav - pretty much the mobile standard for GPS mapping. (I think they even have some "3-D")

Bloomberg for Blackberry - pretty much exact copy of the Bloomberg desktop experience, prob never heard or used this since while I'm making $$$ your moaning the lack of quality gaming on the Blackberry.

E-Trade for Blackberry - ditto

WorldMate live - fantastic travel tool for road warriors

InfoSpace Findit! - Best use of LBS I've seen yet.

While I agree the BB web experience is not as robust, it's more then functional and when you visit a properly formatted site for mobility (most of the major ones are now) it's actually a faster experience vs. the constant tap, expand, tap, zoom aspect of the Iphone. Just give me the data.

So you can see there are two different markets out there, professionals who depend on their device to communicate and conduct business, an extension of their office (or in some cases the office is mobile) and casual consumers who have different needs and want nicer graphics, a robust web experience etc.

I feel most of us are the expection and often carry more then one device.
