On the Road, On the Go: What's Your Killer App?
Here's an article I wrote up on Sunday that explains a little of why I find my Smartphone to useful. 
"I've had people ask me why I tend to carry my Smartphone more than I carry my Pocket PC, and it comes down to one simple answer: one-handed email is the "killer application" for me. I spent a weekend in Edmonton in June, and I took only my Smartphone. While walking around West Edmonton Mall with my wife and her friend, I was able to check my email in an inconspicuous manner, and of course have it automatically poll for new messages every 15 minutes. Checking email on a Pocket PC is a two-handed affair, which is vastly different than using a Smartphone. My first pass at email always consists of deleting spam - I can do that while walking or talking with others. My second pass at mail is when I respond to the messages - I'm still pretty slow at T9, so one of the features I really enjoy using is the voice recorder option..."
