PCWorld: Connecting Your iPhone or iPad with Your Business
“The iPhone has a long way to go to enable the level of business integration provided by BlackBerry or Windows Mobile smartphones, but Apple has made great strides since the iPhone was introduced. Despite the hype around the iPad, at its core it is essentially a giant iPhone–or, more accurately, an iPod Touch–which means it can leverage the same tools for business integration.
The iPhone had a rough start for business professionals, but once Apple added the ability to connect with Microsoft Exchange messaging it became much more viable as a business tool. With Exchange or other standards-based systems, the iPhone or iPad can receive e-mail, contact, and calendar updates automatically.”
