The iPhone is far from secure as long as vulnerabilities continue to be found, when it stops for several years, despite the best efforts of hackers, then the device is considered secure. What Apple codes is rather insecure, Safari?, they import a lot of their security from people smarter and/or more adept than they are.
What would you say about the 90% (more?) enterprises in the word that are depending on Windows based desktops and servers for their day to day operations and before you google for all of the Windows 7 security advancements none of that will never 'explain away' the past 20 years of Windows dominance in the enterprise market when Windows 7 wasn't available. If security was as enormously important as you proclaim it to be MS Windows would have been dead and long forgotten by now!
I wasn't aware the iPhone couldn't do push e-mail. I guess my MobileMe subscription, or the ability for Exchange, Gmail (through Exchange), Yahoo, etc. to instantly send e-mails, contacts, calendar updates, and pretty soon notes are not considered push.
Or the push email from an Apple Xserve Mail Server or the Kario Connect server.
I personally don't think RIM is going anywhere. I have had the iPhone since the first day it came out and love it, but there are people, my father included, who love the iPhone OS but cannot give up that physical keyboard.
iPhone OS 4 will let you carry around a bluetooth keyboard (or a usb keyboard with photo connector). I can almost guarantee that we will see keyboard cases for the iPhone when that happens.

I would think so, but I doubt they would be wildly popular as most have dropped their unfounded beliefs that a cramped physical keyboard is considerably better than a virtual keyboard with larger buttons.
I've plugged my phone into the iPad keyboard dock and it worked great. It looked silly, but all the shortcut keys from Mac OS X I tried work perfectly.
Its nice to say and read these things, however, its not really reality. Law firms, Dr's, etc, have a say in what they can use, and many of them are using iPhones via exchange. However, I don't know of any wall street firms that allow it for their employee usage. (perhaps some executives with pull can use them). I would like to have one, but for the foreseeable future, I have to use BB's. Thats why when the 4th gen iPhone comes out, I am considering getting a 2nd phone (iPhone) to replace my 1st gen Touch.
I was just in a doctor's office today. AT&T's had no penetration beyond the front door. I guess the enterprises in the story are all outside.
Yup. Our enterprise(extremely large aerospace firm) switched from verizon to ATT, had a huge problem in our buildings. AT&T had to come in and add a bunch of repeaters. All is well now.
i was just reading an article today that said it's not a good choice for enterprise users because even while locked, you can connected it via usb to a machine running some program in ubuntu and it has direct read access (bypassing the security.) It also said that someone who knows what they're doing could take a few more steps to even make outgoing calls with it.
Are they just counting corporate accounts, or are they also including corporate FAN (Foundation Account Number) accounts where people piggyback on their companies plan to get discounts on their personal phones? (Which in my case is a meager 11% that doesn't apply to the required data plan.)
That's not suprising, all the managers and partners in my firm use the iphone. They wine and complain about the phone signal but they all generally like the device. And i'm working in a VERY conservative office. High security, i'm even more suprised they haven't blocked this site as "social networking" site in Barracuda. Regardless it's not a huge shock to see these numbers.

However we still do not allow iPhones, yet.
The iPhone is far from secure.
Apple is always playing catch up, not ahead in security.
Perhaps 4.0 will fix these new issues. And 5.0 to fix the new ones and so on.

THE WORLD.... is far from secure. You just invent new weapons.
Just an interesting read
Also, every post you make has some kind of bitter jab at Apple in it, so it's plain to me that you have an agenda of some kind.
It's called trolling
Please don't quote the entire posts of trolls (or anyone else for that matter). It's very annoying to those of us who have the obvious ones blocked.
Thanks!
