What kind of business phones is this??? The kind that can't be activated through a business. That's right, Apple and AT&T will not allow business clients to activate the iPhone, you have to switch to a personal account. Does this mean that employees of Apple cannot have a company phone??? Not even their company's phone??? Corporations Suck! STUPID!!!

That POS e-mail system is only geared for the enterprise, not SMB (at least none that I know of)... There are a lot of stupid people in corporate IT depts that blindly follow MS, but I can't imagine a SMB wanting a proprietary e-mail system like Exchange. What small business uses Exchange?

Does it includes sync with with the iPhone? BTW, have you ever heard of Microsoft Small Busines Server? it includes Exchange 2003 and many of my customers have it sync with Windows Mobile 5 devices (Blackjack and Treo's). And I'm speaking of small business. IMO, we can't underestimate SMB's and the need to sync their devices with the office (or Exchange server) for email, contacts and appoinments. Today, Exchange is not for medium or large busines. Small business have it too. One more thing, I never mentioned Outlook, becuase WM5 connects and synchronize directly with Exchange. No Outlook needed. AJ, you said that with Dalite and a some mail server you have the Exchange and Outlook features covered. Does it includes sync with with the iPhone?

The only unknown thing is Office documents and no connection to MS Exchange. I think most small business veer away from MS Exchange, so I don't think this is such a big deal. Most Mac based small business have learn do to without it. In fact, we (Marketcircle) say that with Daylite and a Mail Server, you'll have the most commonly used features in Exchange and Outlook covered. My argument is that when the timing is right, Apple will release tools to read Office documents.

A very high porcentage of any size business use Office. If there is no Office support, how are you going to open your business documents. and other reason is the support for MS Exchange. How are going to synchronize? IMAP? IMAP synchronize email. what about contacts, calendars, etc? other than that, the iPhone will be a great phone (except for many business). My two cents...

I don't see any new products from MS taking the U.S. or the world by storm. Home enteretainment, Zune, Gaming, or whatever from M.S. has been a bust financially. Ballmer would be better if he used his skills as a lion tamer, where FUD & Chair tossing are #1 requirements to keep your job. Don't bet against the guys with the winning hands.
