Until I can push email security for attachments, links and scripts that may get emailed in across all of these new phones and mobile productivity platforms, I won't be completely comfortable with my users having them. I do have several Motorola Droids in my production environment and I think they are great and those that have them are completely in love with them, but the over all lack of security consistency from computer to phone is enough to make me cringe. My own personal opinions about iPhone are not too high, I'm not going to go as far as to say it's a horrible device because it's not. In my mind it doesn't serve a place in the business world for several reasons. The largest of those would not be the horribly insecure Safari browser it comes with, followed closely by Apple's over bearing grip on how they let their devices get used like the constant blocking of Google Voice, tethering and other similar cases. Having worked on warranty stuff for an Apple vendor in the past I know first hand the mentality they have towards their customers. And I would never make the recommendation to a business I'm employed by or consulting for that may end up leaving them exposed to that kind of abuse.

It was fine when it was iPod, and all the iPod could do was play music. But today w/ all these devices, we need something more. Open source that junk Apple (dream on...). Anyway OS4 will ensure the iPhone's maintained dominance I think. I think Apple needs a device management tool. iDevice or something.
