Harbour is almost interesting. By their own admission it "sort of does" iOS. And there is no Android support, nor is it planned. Likewise for WebOS (see below).

My reading of the Enterprise Market, which is quite different from some others here who think tablets are toys, or only for consumer use, is that entry into the enterprise-wide market, as contrasted with niche products in use by Enterprises, will have to include all device form-factors. It's all about TCO. Which would you rather a housekeeping supervisor requisition toilet paper, etc., with: a computer that sits in a room somewhere, or a $300 7" tablet that's in a holster that she has on her, and which can also be used for Skype calls within the business? It's a no-brainer. And that market will be iOS, Android and WebOS (if Amazon buys WebOS and actually uses it, rather than just uses the patents).

Thanks for the reference, btw. It's certainly an interesting project, with historical credibility and very good 3rd-party support.

Hank
