iPhone ready to take on BlackBerry with Enterprise push

The list of features that Apple describes as important to enterprise end users includes "push-based" e-mail, calendar info and contact management; additional support for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) including Cisco IPsec; and two-factor authentication, certificates and identities.

"Enterprise-class" Wi-Fi with WPA2/802.1x support and tools to enforce security policies were also mentioned. Schiller indicated that IT managers are also looking to help deploy iPhones, set them up automatically, and, perhaps most importantly, wipe the devices when necessary.

"That's a long list of important features," said Schiller. "They say if we just did these things, it would really help adoption in the enterprise. And we're doing all of these things in the next release of the iPhone software."

Removing risk of service downtime

"We have licensed the ActiveSync protocol [from Microsoft]," said Schiller. This will enable Apple to build support for Microsoft Exchange directly into the iPhone -- a huge request from iPhone users, he said.

I've got nothing against Apple "and some of my best friends are Apple users"! I even own a number of iPod products!

BUT why, oh why, do people feel the need to post about every new product that Apple releases, or is going to release, on a BMW forum???

I'm "kinda "...

I didn't say that the Lounge should have restrictions on what can be posted

I do try to avoid the political threads. There are way too many uninformed, biased, and cockamamie posts out there. I don't need to feel like the character in Eric's signature.

What else can I say about the Apple announcements... They are in the every newspapers, they are on every news website, they are on all the Apple-oriented websites, they are on all the gadget-oriented websites, etc. etc. OK, I think I see what point I'm trying to make These announcements are in SO MANY locations already; why do so many people feel to effectively repost common info here on a BMW forum...

As I said, I'm not that upset about this in the first place; my question was more rhetorical...

No joke.......

The reason for the post is simple. People with BMW's use iPhones and many of them in the past have complained about this issue. This issue will now be dealt with.

But in my mind i thought it useful information valuable for some of the members who follow technology and don't always have time to keep up.

Finally as someone already said it is the lounge.
