Apple doesn't have to beat them out to make oodles of money, though. They get 200 from Cingular per contract and iPhone purchase, plus about 150-200 in profit per phone. They'll do just fine if they continue with their niche market. Look at Helio for example. They'll never be king but they make money and do just fine.
As for Corp. adoption, you've got to start somewhere. Blackberry didn't emerge one day and automatically become hugely popular. It took some time to grow support.
Agreed on the Halo effect. Now that they have switched to Intel though, they have seen a huge increase in sales.
IMO, they need to focus on quality hardware and making money there as I don't see the other markets every becoming as big as their computer market. Maybe Cell Phones.
