The HTC phones do a very nice job of multi tasking and it's running Android. BB has a really sucky browser.
I've had 2 BB and now on IPhone. The IPhone battery by FAR has the worst performing battery life of the 3. You can actually see the % count down as you type. =S
Yes and the jury is still out on whether they addressed the power consumption or not. I understand it will be 1/4 thinner so they better have some kick ass battery or have ratched up the power management on that thing or it will be a dog.
No doubt Apple have the coolmess factor working for them but I heard the same about battery life and the inability to multi-task is a joke.
BB has the enterprise market cornered for now and the deficiency of the browser will have to be solved as more enterpise apps are moving to software-as-service.
The future is likely with Android - you can expect Google to optimize it for their application platform.
Also - MS have still to give up on this market.

Dark Side Arises for Phone Apps - Security Concerns Prompt Warnings
As an IT Consultant, I am not a fan. I support a couple of them through Exchange, but I have my finger on the wipe and disable button lol.
They are a toy. IMHO
Also this is an example of why they belong in the toy category and not in the Business PDA category.

I suspect the Nexus platform is just as vulnerable.

Agreed that the batteries are the weak point, though they are apparently better in the iPhone 4. You can listen to music and jump to other apps on the current iPhones and the new iPhones. I listen to music and answer emails/browse constantly. For true multitasking on the iPhone, you still need to jailbreak it and install a program to allow the running of background apps. Of course, the iPhone is not really made to do this, so it's only really good to use when streaming music/shows and checking emails.
Personally, I'm holding out for the HTC EVO or H2 coming up here to Canuckistan, but they are a while off as our carriers supposedly aren't fully compatible with them at the moment.
This article you linked seems to say all phones are vulnerable (which is true), not just the iPhone, but Android and BB phones as well. I haven't had a lot of experience with BBs in an enterprise environment, but is one able to lock out a user from downloading apps on a BB? Browse the web? Still plenty of security issues with all phones, especially with javascript vulnerabilitie and with the future introduction of Flash on the BB...
Agreed all phones have some flaw, but you can lock down a BB and Windows based phones you have a great deal of security flexibility through Exchange, but yes all devices offer some risk. However, with an iPhone or Nexus device, APPS are being developed to steal your information and you then install the app. My comment about the article had to do with APPS and the lack of scrutiny exhibited by Apple, Google and Users when accepting or offering APPS for download. Apple and Google are being more careful now, but what goes on between the keyboard and the back of the chair cannot be controlled. The whole app thing has the potential to be more damaging than flash, java, embedded etc... issues. Because you are inviting the APP in. JMHO
