iPhone for Business… I don’t think so

16 January 2007 172 views Comments

There seems to be a great debate right now on the sphere around whether the iPhone will be a business phone or not.  I have an iMate JasJam, it runs Windows Mobile 5 and has all my contacts and calendars as well as an thin exchange client.

I don’t see these sort of applications on the iPhone, in fact this article and video report to show some of the business capabilities of the phone, but i struggle to recall the last time i had to zoom into a photo or see the cover art to a sinatra album during a business meeting.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great device and I want one.  But not for work!

On my current phone I can schedule a meeting with a colleague or organise emails into different folders and then synch that back up with outlook on my desktop (and subsequently exchange).

The piece I might be missing is the equivalent business tools offered on the Mac environment.  Do they exist?  Is there an exchange style server for the Mac?
