The market is clearly dictating the move to converged devices. This means that a new device must support voice, mail, and data. Increasingly customers are demanding data coverage over the entire voice footprint of their carrier - not just in metro areas and main connecting corridors (Interstates) between them.Its too bad that people have invested time and money in this device - I truely believe that it won't make it; and as martin c. points out above, most customers will use their existing or future cell phone to accomplish this need. All power-users will either get a BlackBerry or another solution running on Palm or Windows Mobile. I concur – this device will generate little market interest.

Too many people would just use there cell phone that they already on if they just need to get email every now then and woudl buy a smartphone if they need more than that.
