Can iPhones Go Corporate ?
The consumer wonder is no office whiz
Don't Believe the Hype
The iPhone still has some real shortcomings, especially as a business tool. So if you tell your IT manager you want to ditch your BlackBerry, expect him to hand you this list of iPhone shortcomings.
No email search
BlackBerry addicts can find that old memo in a flash. iPhone users? Nope
No copy and paste
Seems pretty basic, but the iPhone won't do it.
No removable battery
When the battery dies, so does the phone.
No choice of carriers or manufacturers
Apple makes it, AT&T services it, period. So no haggling with competitors for a better deal.
No meeting invitations
You can put that lunch date on your Exchange calendar, but you can't invite everyone else. Apple won't comment, but thte company clearly covets corporate users. It has improved the way the iPhone talks to business email systems, for example.
Will the iPhone learn to copy and paste in 2009?
It may need to if it wants to work in an office.
