First of all, every one of those smartphones has a decent PIM that works (not to mention a whole bunch of other non-phone-specific functionality), right out of the box. Second, the tablets are marketed as having a bunch of software available and easily installed. However, the majority of the apps available, while appreciated, don't really add any major capability. Those that do are things that should have been included out of the box (like USB Control - there's no excuse for there not being a built-in, easily accessible GUI applet for that). The bottom line is that regardless of how you perceive the tablets, they are not *consumer* devices. They are developer's toys, and not even very good for that because of so much of them being closed. They shouldn't be marketed as consumer devices.
