Just because certain customization options are being removed and their monitoring their app store better doesn't mean business users and the functions that business users use will disappear.

Android still does NOT have full Exchange support. Android 2 offers some native Exchange support, but nothing on the level of BlackBerry (w/ BES) or Windows Mobile (via ActiveSync OTA).
Android is limited to Contacts and E-Mail. It doesn't support tasks, cal, etc...
There are a ton of Enterprise Line of Business (LOB) apps for Windows Mobile. Next time you see the Coke delivery man inside 7-11 dropping off a shipment and recording it. Look at the device he is using to record his shipment. It will be a Windows Mobile based device...
WP7s is consumer focused. There is no question about it. That's why its Facebook and Twitter integration go to the core of the OS and are more integrated than its Exchange support. That is why its primary focus is on XBOX Live game integration and Zune functionality.
There is a reason why Windows Mobile 6 will still be around and MS is rumored to be working on a new Windows Mobile for business...
