This sounds like exactly what they should do, but since they arent doing it they arent giving us the freedom to operate with our phone in the manner we wish.
Before my Driod X i had a Samsung Omnia (the orginal), i did almost everything i am doing with my Driod X does right now except for Pandora i used prerecorded mp3's and there was no equivalent to cardio trainer for my WM phone.
I did get to bike, play music via my Cy-Fi and take a call when needed. However getting the Driod X now allowed me to use Cardio trainer when commuting, and add video recording of the rides, plus listen to Pandora while at work. I know you think that makes me an extreme power user, and to an extent it does, but there are a greater number of people who use smartphones that are starting to really take advantage of them. It seems like MS is targetting people looking to upgrade from flip phones but that may be a bad demographic to target. I am no marketing person but the people i know with flip phones either cant afford the data plans that the carriers have or have no use whatsoever for anything but a flip phone. Where those who have smartphones are starting to push the boundries of their phones more and more.
My 2 cents that are propbably worth less than 1 cent =)
