AT&T set to target enterprise users with iPhone

According to InfoWorld, the folly that is the iPhone launch just got kicked up another notch with the news that AT&T would be targeting the iPhone at business users. Of course, analysts are quick to point out that without a keypad for dialing while driving, (as a society, we can really do without this anyway) removable battery, and because it's Apple's first outing in the mobile phone space, it would not be recommended nor largely accepted by enterprises. We also have to point out that the iPhone's lack of any useful messaging integration (think BlackBerry, Microsoft Exchange) will also make this a pretty tough sell. Who knows, this just may fuel more rumors about what may end up going into the iPhone, but whatever the case may be, we would love to be a fly on the wall during one of those sales calls. "What? No, it doesn't really have business email.. but it plays movies and music well."
