You've nailed this, and Apple's only slowly, reluctantly, changing their strategy in an effort to engage the business market. That said, Apple has been getting a bye as of late because they've been regularly releasing significant updates for the iPhone. There have been
multiple major OS upgrades in the last 15 months.
I understand Microsoft is keeping coy to avoid Osborning their product, but given the intensified competition (not just from the iPhone or the G1, btw -- have you seen the PR blitz starting up about the Blackberry Storm, which looks damn cool?), they should somehow elaborate on their strategy to compete, even if it doesn't have precise timeframes.
