I too didn't jump on the Crackberry wagon, and when I heard about the RIM lawsuit that threatened to bring down Blackberry, I was glad I wasn't depending on it. I am interested in the tablet pc thingie, and am especially excited about the fact that a tablet pc could run VFP apps. To me, that's an easy win, but we'll see how it shakes out in time.
