Apple iPhone - Good enough as a business device?
The Apple iPhone is it a business device? Well it is clear that despite Apple apparent push to try and convince us all it is there are some serious misgivings about taking this device for anything other than a pure consumer play. The reason for my statement is quite simple from a security perspective the Apple iPhone is severely limited. The Operating system which Apple have utilised in the iPhone is designed around ease of use for the masses and not business security as required by all enterprises whether large or small. To my knowlegde I do not believe it is possible to enforce Corporate policies onto the iPhone and the main reason for this is quite simply the device is just to new. However if Apple continue to "get it right" the clamour for this device in the business world will become so self promoting that there will be an unswerving demand for a central management system that it will be impossible to ignore. As we move forward all platforms will eventually support the Open Mobile Alliance device management standard and then the Apple iPhone we become a truly beautiful business device .
