Such silly comments. Sounds like the same arguments that a window OS was a toy and a real business OS was text based(MS-DOS). Sounds like a plant from the MS FUD department. Today there are over 10,000 app in the App store. We are developing a REAL enterprise app for the iPhone and NOT the Blackberry. Why? Because the things we are doing on the iPhone are impossible on the Treo and Blackberry.

See my post. In my opinion it is game over for RIM, they just do not know it yet. http://blog.cosential.com/?p=166

The single tasking IPhone is a toy compared to a multi-tasking Curve or Bold.

You play with an IPhone, you get work done with a BlackBerry

IBM has developed a mobile version of Lotus Notes for the iPhone. If Big Blue has warmed up to it, it's definitely worth noticing!

guy corp can warm as much as they wanto, iphone is lacking a version with keyboard which most corps dont like. in addition appl does not have a data center like rim, security is an issue, no push mail. rimm still has a strong foothold in business and with recession i dont see buisnesses running out for iphones. especially if it works dont fix it

I posted here already and someone erased it, I wonder who would do that?

The iPhone is a toy compared to the Treo and Blackberry. The facts are clear it is simply an iPod with a phone. The piece is not your businessmans side kick. Poor speakers, off and on ring switch poorly placed, keypad (forget it) that does not flip so you can use both thumbs, brightness control that is so darn time consuming to adjust, thin and slippery casing, more glamour than useful, only retains 2 days of "recent" calls (the Treo holds like, forever!) Overall, 6 out of 10, bottomline is it needs a menu key, like the Treo, that brings options up quickly. Believe me, this iPhone is not a good replacement for any Treo or Blackberry……period!!!

Apple should have looked at real business phones before they make the current toy!!!

@ex ped: Ah, but RIM was down 8.41% to Apple’s -6.72%
