I know, let's put all the apps shown in the slide show on a BB Storm and then let's see if any of it is worth the bother on that hunk of junk.

I've played around with the Storm a good bit, and I have to agree--not a fan.  
 
I know some people like it, but the SurePress click screen does nothing for me. Good move on RIM's part to get rid of it for Storm 2.

I'm using the Samsung Omnia and it's way better than the Storm 1. Took me a few days to get used to the touch keyboard, however, I like it.

Liked the slideshow. For me, it underscored the fact that Apple has done a far better job of developing free apps for the iPhone.

Google Maps is easy enough to get on your BlackBerry by going to Google in your browser and downloading the mobile version.  
 
Of course, the greatest selling point of a BlackBerry isn't an app at all, it's the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. I'm really looking forward to the Google Apps Connector for BES, which is coming in July.

I didn't mean to suggest that it's hard to get Google Maps on your BlackBerry. I just find it curious that it's not in the application store.
