    Looks like we'll hear, "The SDK has been delayed while we rethink how much
    this is gonna cost us after it's hacked."

    Does that sound about right?.....(c;

    Vic, have you tried the freeware movie converter I posted yesterday on the
    iPhone? I'm interested to see if it will make movies for iPhones without
    the ripoffs.

    We have Exchange - and have only seen the latest MS "push" technology
    available for MS enabled smartphones.
    Also - for the Blackberry crowd, we run the BB server... again, a "push"
    technology.

    For the iPhone to work with a "push" technology like Exchange,
    it would have to have the total MS Exchange protocol support... which might
    be a stretch for the iPhone.
    For those smartphones already running MS Mobile, it's already there,
    but to add it to a non-MS phone just to get Exchange support might be a
    heavy task.

    Apple give iPhone support for Microsoft's Exchange server and Lotus
    Notes software - Enterprise iPhone
    Yesterday, February 29, 2008, 2:54:47 PM |

    While we wait for Apple's press event next week, let's speculate on
    what we'll hear. We know that "cool new enterprise features" are going
    to be part of the "iPhone Software Roadmap," but just what kind of
    enterprise features can we expect?

    How does some Microsoft's Exchange server and IBM Lotus Notes software
    support sound? Sounds nice, doesn't it? Well, Shaw Wu, an American
    Technology Research analyst, cites his "industry and developer
    sources" who indicate that Apple will unveil some significant business-
    oriented software support for the iPhone on March 6th.

    We've been pining for Apple to endow the iPhone with Microsoft
    Exchange Server support. The iPhone has seen limited success in the
    enterprise landscape, mainly because of its lack of business-software.
    IBM has already announced its intention to release Lotus Notes email
    for the iPhone, so the announcement that Apple will finally bring IBM
    into its stable of support software is no big surprise. But, allowing
    MS Exchange to work with the iPhone is a huge step, and a pleasant
    surprise.

    "If true (which we believe is), this will prove key in having more
    enterprises and SMB adopt iPhone as their mobile platform," states Wu.
    "What isn't as clear to us is how Apple will accomplish this, whether
    this is from internal development (most likely), third-parties
    including Microsoft (next likely) with its ActiveSync technology, or
    Research in Motion Blackberry Connect (possible but less likely), or a
    combination of two or more."

    Once the iPhone gets some official business support from Apple, the
    iPhone could really shine as a true enterprise smartphone. After all,
    a ChangeWave survey showed that enterprise customers are more
    satisfied with their iPhone than corporate users toting RIM BlackBerry
    handsets.

    "Nearly three-in-five (59%) of Apple's business customers say their
    company is Very Satisfied with the iPhone."

    "RIM (maker of the Blackberry) ranks second with a Very Satisfied
    rating of 47%, though we note this represents an unusually large 8-pt
    decline from the previous survey."

    The results make sense, seeing as how 72% of iPhone customers are
    satisfied, making the iPhone the top pick in planned purchases.

    Let's see what happens on March 6th...
