Did Apple use the word Enterpise?
Well the news spread like wildfire today… Apple announced their iPhone will have ActivSync in conjunction with Exchange… and the release of the update is expected to hit in June… One of my huge issues with Apple is their continued unwillingness to play nicely with the enterprise environment; Specifically playing nicely with Exchange. But all that may change which might also change our mobile device policy we established just a few months ago….
Our current mobile sync policy states:
If you intend to synchronize your PDA/Mobile device with Northwoods’ email, contacts, tasks, etc. that device must support Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® (For Exchange 2003 or later).
Well I’ll tell you I haven’t signed up the Enterprise beta Program … yet, but I think for now we may come to new conclusions on which devices we ’support’. I reserve the right to change my mind
especially if the Apple ‘flavor’ of ActiveSync isn’t true ActiveSync and the OTA sync functions aren’t the same configuration as Windows Mobile 6 devices. One interesting note.. will the iPhone support wildcard SSL certificates?
So now, we only have no love for Blackberry… is that fair? No, sorry but that’s just our support limitations.
