Everyone knows about ESRI, Intergraph,
I want to review them all, because honestly, ripping into one and loving another is just too easy. I want to be blown away by some of these apps and some of them should just never see the light of day.

Different options
Another thing I want to focus on is different technologies.
Everyone knows about ESRI, Intergraph,MapInfo Pitney-I-can't-believe-that-is-the-name-of-a-GIS-company Boyes and Autodesk. There are options for the Open Source stack as well including MapServer, OpenLayers and the flavor of the day mashup side of things with Google Maps, Virtual Earth Bing, Does-Anyone-Use-Yahoo-Maps, etc.
