I agree, the early iPaq was a solid rockin' machine. Even in 2000 when I had one it was an amazing device. I've had several Blackberries and now happily carry the iPhone, and I won't go back. People say that the Blackberry is the only "corporate" option for a phone, and yet the iPhone (at least the 3GS, that's when I entered the iPhone scene) has direct built in support for Exchange server. Anyone here had the pleasure of running a Blackberry Enterprise Server? That thing is awful. I for one haven't seen anything yet that lives up to the title of "iPhone killer" that seems to be placed on every new gadget that comes out. If another company makes one better, markets it right, adds in all of the extras that makes the iPhone great and Apple doesn't innovate and keep up, maybe there will be a new king of the hill. But I don't think it will happen overnight.
