You listed the reason already...email and voice still rule the business world not applications. If that situation changes and more enterprises adopt productivity applications they've got shot. The other reason (for now) is the huge price difference! Bell is giving away Blackberries right now. The iPhone is non-subsidized $500 All except the most fashion-conscious firms will still probably make sane choice. Look, the product is great, I've used it. Apple is really good at hyping things. Developers and consumers need to recognize that an iPhone is still a miniscule piece of the mobile market. RIM has a commanding lead and does mobile email better than anything else. I'd be developing for the RIM platform, Android, Windows Mobile. All those OS's are and will be bigger in the long term.
