I tend to disagree that Blackberrys are merely email appliances. I find myself using it more and more everyday for calendaring, contacts and wireless Internet browsing... and finding less of a need to carry my [unconnected] Pocket PC around.
However, you raise a very interesting comment... the line between a PDA, a pocket computing device and a cell phone with added PDA functionality is vanishing... should they just compile a list of connected devices and unconnected PDA-like devices?
