No access to the glorious app store? Why would a company pay premium prices for a slim, sexy, color, video-playing, music-playing device -- which is completely not ruggedized and isn't backed with a warranty if an employee drops it -- that will only run the one application they bundled with it? I could see a silicon valley firm buying them for their employees...if the employees could actually code something on it or use it for anything other than wasting time. But it's pretty hard to imagine this in use as a business device anywhere else. Doctors in hospitals, as has been pointed out, already port around their own iphones, netbooks, etc. for data tracking purposes, and the hospital doesn't need to underwrite that. "Replacement for paper" has been the mantra for this stuff since the Newton, and it might work one day;

but paper would have failed, too, if paper manufacturers banned people from writing whatever they wanted on it.
