The problem is that "business needs" is far too nebulous a description for what could mean one of many different purposes. Does it mean mobile email? If so you're covered. If you mean "a bespoke, installable mobile-client application" then it probably means no. I'd wager that there are several orders of magnitude more business users in the former than the latter category. The mistake here is assuming that the massively more restrictive needs of the smaller group should apply to all business users, when clearly they don't.
I have worked on both platforms and there is no comparison when it comes to productivity - Mac wins. It is more stable, when running CS3, Color calibration is more accurate on Mac hardware bar none... why bother going on - the list is too long...
Yes, yes they did. Even talked to a kindly young lady from Apple on the phone. They reconsidered when I told them just how much I used of the original software... ;^)
You should also consider that the iPhone is new. It only makes sense that over time Apple will upgrade it's features to be more IT friendly in futurer models. Especially after press like this. <a class="user" href="http://www.imtrain.com">http://www.imtrain.com</a>
At least you guys have the iphone - we just got it in Canada and no real network currently supports it. At least not mine. I was talking to a coder that works for us and he got it and guess where he's from - Moldiva! Have you heard of that country? Exactly. Why would you hype a product that is quite good but not provide support for it in Canada makes no sense. <a class="user" href="http://www.homeboozekit.com">http://www.homeboozekit.com</a>
The iPhone may well force its way in by sheer force of "cool." True, at present time, the iPhone doesn't really support business applications, but it is a wizard of design. The point being that it is irresistable more vast numbers of people. The tidal force of use, I think, will generate the momentum that will lead to the enterprise level development.

Ah, the situation appears similar to Reaganomics.

Since when does business care about HTML email? Get a clue. All of our emails are plain text.

At least I'm good for something productive. You're a mere class-A ahole.

iPhone hasn't arrived in Singapore yet. If what you are saying is true, I may need to think twice before buying.<a class="user" href="http://www.mindpowerspecialreport.com/">http://www.mindpowerspecialreport.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.myselfhypnosis.net/">http://www.myselfhypnosis.net/</a>
