Unless you are not around the PC with the data when you need to restore. On the one hand, I like the open file system that would allow easy file transfer. On the other hand, some people might have liked the Palm Desktop's ability to read the synced data and manipulate it.
I'm not sure any of these are tech hurdles so much as design decisions. We'll see if they pan out. Another thing that disappoints me is that we will probably stick with BB at work no matter how this pans out, becaause RIM is the only smartphone company that seems to really understand IT administration. Nobody else has a central administration server console. I have been administering BBs via BES for less than a week, have never owned a BB, and it is already vastly easier for me to support these things than it ever was to support one Palm at a time -- and I have been using Palm for over a decade. This may not be an issue for many of you, but for anyone who supports others use of smartphones, it is THE issue. I am not convinced that Apple cares about the enterprise, but am sorely disappointed that Palm has ignored this as well.
