The one problem I have with application-dependent button mapping is when I want to use the normal mapping. For example, if I'm listening to something in Windows Media Player and I want to switch to another task, I press the button to bring up iTask on my iPAQ 3870. Of course, as I have the button mapped to Play/Pause, the song stops. I have to hit the button again to resume playing, then use the Start menu.

So I think button mapping is useful in some limited applications, like games, where you're going to use them for a while, but is limited in other contexts.
