iPhone and Enterprise

When you think of business and Internet-enabled cell phones, you probably think of Crackberry Blackberry. Why not think "iPhone" instead? That's what AT&T would like. They plan to market the iPhone to business users and are working on making sure that enterprise billing and support will be ready when the iPhone launches, according to a recent Macworld article. Some analysts disagree. Macworld quotes Ken Dulaney of Gartner, who thinks an enterprise iPhone would be a "serious mistake". Without a removable battery and with its driving-unfriendly button-less interface, Dulaney thinks the iPhone has definite business shortcomings. On the bright side, the iPhone is just as likely to wake you at 3 in the morning to the insane ravings of your boss as a standard cell phone.
