So do they expect you to have a BES to use email?

people aren't bothering with custom os etc. It's a pity as its a lovely
size and feel.

warning. There are some Android 4 tablets on eBay I'm being tempted by at
the moment. They're cheap so I wouldn't expect much, but might be worth a
play.

bought one today. It's going back tomorrow. It is small and nice, and
relatively inexpensive BUT it doesn't have an email client, it doesn't have
a calendar, not even one you can download and install.  It has few apps and
the much fabled android load doesn't work until version 2.0  (and even
then, hit and miss) It also has pretty much NO integration capabilities
with any online service. No dropbox, nothing like that.
