Will not displace the BlackBerry anytime soon

It's very cool and my wife and kids would love to have one. However, I'm a business person and I need to get work done. Without voice to text (that really works) or a "real" keyboard there is no way I could use this device to do my work. I answer at least 25 e-mails a day using my blackberry. It also must sync with my work e-mail (and not via some wacky PC sync application, but from the server). The device must be able to open and display Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents (to kill Blackberry do this better as Blackberry does not do it very well, but it does it). And the device must have high security and be controlled centrally (in case I lose it or it is stolen the company can quickly disable it and wipe the data).

In summary, a cool consumer device that is not going to widely adopted by business or government anytime soon.
