- and an even more insightful remark in the comments from Alan Wilensky:

 Boy, did you swing and miss at the fat part of the potential Android adoption curve: Dedicated data devices for verticals and business applications.

While there are a number of mobile data platforms for business, this might be the first open source environment that is widely adopted. I believe that all of the other mobile linux environments are a bit here, a bit there.

Boy, he is right all along. Yes, where extra security is an issue and need for flexibility coupled with always-on-networking outweighs coolness and form factor, it will be a killer.
