I think the device has so much potentail for other markets – say consultants, small business owners, etc who don’t need or don’t have access to an Exchange server but want a device that syncs to their calendar, does eamil well, etc. Why can’t t-mobile/danger offer different levels of service and charge accordingly? I would gladly pay an extra $10 a month to have more email storage capacity and more device memory. Why not develop a set of apps like a simple word processor that saves as .doc files that you can send as well as open as email attachments? (to be fair the sidesheet program is a nice app and a step in the productivity direction.) And why not create some more themes – some that give the OS a more “professional” appearance? Seems easy enough and people would pay for this.

I know that the device is marketed towards teens and 20-somethings (and into the 30-something range too I belive), but it wouldn’t take much effort on t-mobile/danger’s part to make this device appeal to more groups. I had have had all of the SK models (I, II, and III) the day the became available. The SKI was pretty revolutionary, and the SKII was a very nice improvement (especially the quality of the hardware), but the SKIII falls short I think. Yes, it does do IM, text, and email pretty well, has some nice games, and has an OK music player and camera, but it could do so much more (and be lighter/thinner) too.

I was waiting on the sk3 but it took too long so I bought the mda. when the sk3 finally came I kept it for about 3 wks and took it back.

This kinda like what happened to the new canon 30d, not much improvement over the old 20d.
