iPhone gets Exchange support, aims for BlackBerry
Apple has licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft and will build push e-mail, calendar, contacts, and global address lists in the next release of iPhone software.
Apple will also roll in essential enterprise features, such as stronger authentication and more broadly compatible remote access (VPN). But most important for large enterprises, Apple's next release will support Exchange Server's central management for policies, fleet configuration and remote data wiping.
Apple wants to tag BlackBerry, which Apple claims is the only enterprise handset outselling iPhone.
My next entry will be on iPhone's native application software development kit.
