I agree totally.

I LOVE my iPAQ, but I need my Blackberry. Depending where I'm going, I have up to three devices (iPAQ, phone, Blackberry). But if I'm travelling light, it's the iPAQ that gets left behind (unfortunately). RIM got it right for the Enterprise, plain and simple.

Putting this functionality into a PPC would be bliss.

Having said all of that, I'm not sure I'm for HP buying RIM. I think the Blackberry is so strong because of RIM's vision of technology. HP's isn't the same. I'd rather see partnerships myself. We'll have to see I guess.
