Michael Gartenberg - iPhone 3G and 2.0 Upgrade - First Thoughts
"As I've talked about before here Exchange support is super important for Apple. Yes, the iPhone is already a business device (if the CEO has one, it's de-facto a business device) but Exchange support will now make it much easier for Apple to get the iPhone into business users hands. Exchange works exactly as it should and I had no problems syncing my information to the device. For folks dependent on Exchange for their information, the iPhone is now a first class corporate citizen. IT managers can now also remotely configure and control iPhones on their networks, which is super important to those folks. Look for the iPhone to make new inroads into the Enterprise and for the iPhone to act as a Trojan horse for other Apple devices and services. IT departments of the world, you have been warned, beware geeks bearing gifts :)."

"Some may think that people who wait on line for a phone are idiots. Especially those who wait at a 'kiosk' in a 'food court,' where supply can be expected to be relatively small. That may well be true, but it doesn’t excuse a business from granting its customers certain basic courtesies. One of those basic courtesies is informing customers in a prompt and careful manner, to help them avoid wasting even more of their time."
