Not ready for Business? I think it depends on
your business.
I'm A Senior Systems Engineer, my needs for
email and calendar are fairly basic. As long as
it syncs, and I can access my mail it is fine.
What I use my iPhone for:
Safari - are the wesites I manage up and are
they functioning correctly. Someone calls me
with a fault, I can check from my iphone. As
most of the site have web portals for
management, I can get right in and do what I
need to wherever I am. As it supports an IPSec
VPN with token authentication, I can also
attach to corporate back end intranets.
Applets: Currency converter, VNC remote
control, Citrix Xen client, SSH/telnet client
etc. If I need them I have them and they work.
If it's going to be a big job, then I break out
the laptop, but many quickies are dealt with by
the phone.

The browser in Blackberry is pretty poor
compared to safari, there are nowhere near the
number of useful clients for BB or for Windows
Mobile because of the tiny screen.

And when I'm not working, I can watch TV shows
recorded by my PC, transfer movies, music,
audio books, ebooks etc.
