What iOS 4 Does (and Doesn't Do) For Business
snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Galen Gruman investigates what businesses can expect from Apple's new iOS 4. Multitasking, the biggest new capability, is for now simply a promise, as apps will need to be retrofitted to make use of the capability. The other big new capability for IT, a set of APIs that allow BlackBerry-like management of the iPhone, such as auditing of policies and apps, over-the-air provisioning of apps without iTunes, and over-the-air configuration and policy management, also remains in the realm of promise, as the various mobile management tools that have been reworked to take advantage of the new iOS 4 capabilities won't be available until July or later. And despite the fact that email works more as it does on the desktop, iOS 4 still fails to deliver several email capabilities key to business users, including zipped attachment management, junk mail filtering, message rules, and message flagging."
Wow. -1 Troll to you my friend.
You obviously haven't seen what retailers are doing with these devices.

And how's your warranty looking these days? It shouldn't be expected behaviour that you have to invalidate a warranty that you've paid for just to be able to use the device to its full.
Spot on. The iPhone is marketed as a toy, not a business tool. Why would people expect anything different? Get a Blackberry.
