Consumers want phone (plus an organizer) or a gaming device (and a phone). Tapwave was not either a good phone or a gaming platform. I would think Danger will be next, it's an organizer that's a phone which emphasizes the wrong features.
The Treo has it right (although it is a bit bulky and has some issues) as it is a phone with a very good organizer included.
Maybe the new Motorola / MSFT phones will be successful as well, but don't underestimate MSFTs ability to over burden the OS and make the device so slow as to be useless.
