I don't know.
I have a Treo700W and it already does all those things. E-mail-3 accounts, check. Outlook contact manager, check. One touch dialing, check. Entire device accessible through voice commands, check for the Treo, ???on iphone. MP3 player, check. Media Player, check. Camera, check. Google maps-check. EDGE network, fast, stable. Great phone features(could be better though).
I certainly understand that my phone is part of the MS evil empire but hey, it works for me. My old Treo600 broke after 2 years, and the 700P wasn't out yet so I ended up with the 700W.
The bottom line is that it is hard to be all things to all people in a single device. I think the reason that the iPod has become ubiquitous is that they have refined the music player user interface to a very fine level. But it really only performs one function. Trying to make a fantastic user experience for a device that performs so many different functions is difficult at best and pretty close to impossible. Couple that with the fact that it is (at least initially) tied to a single carrier and I think that it will not be the hit that everyone thinks it will be.
That being said....It sure is cool. As a geek you have to be impressed.
