As the second-generation iPhone 3G is being marketed as the best phone for enterprise use, you can expect people to take note to Apple’s apparently new business-friendly stance. Some may like the company’s lip-service to providing what corporations need, while others see Apple as a company jumping on an old bandwagon in an effort to make more money. In any case, ZDNet went through all the trouble of interviewing senior IT peeps, getting their opinions on the iPhone as a business tool.
The general consensus is that while the iPhone 3G represents the incorporation of many business-oriented features, there are still some issues that need resolving before companies start seriously considering Apple’s smartphone as a viable alternative to all them Blackberries and WinMo devices.
