Wait a second! You say there are those out there that like lotus
notes? like those people who like cutting themselves?

I doubt I'm the only one here who will disagree with this, but the
reason for our positions is precisely because the users can't equate
their technology needs. The last thing I need is to come in one day
to 250K different pieces of technology to support...some users like
Lotus Notes for example and would want me to dump Exchange.
YMMV

Why wait for others to tell you what reasons they could use the
devices. As IT Pros, I believe it is part of our job to have the
foresight and leadership to be able to introduce new technology
within our organizations and how it can be used by our users.
As far as the concern that there are not the apps or tools to be
able to support them; how about building them? Sounds to me that
there is a great opportunity for some developer on this list to
create a set of tools and, potentially make some money.
Michael.
