Exchange Activesync on the iPhone
Personally I have mixed feelings about the iPhone - it is an awesome device to play with, but in my opinion it has seriously lacked in a few key areas: the touch keyboard sucks for writing long emails, there was no Exchange support, it doesn't play Windows Media, and of course it's not 3G. (I'm hanging out for one of these babies from i-mate!)
Anyway - one of these has been fixed - great news for iPhone users is that Apple have licensed and built Exchange Activesync into the iPhone.
Love the old-fashioned BlackBerry NOC-based architecture - yay for EAS :)
This means that soon you will be able to get...
- Push email
- Calendar
- Outlook contacts
- GAL look-up
- Enforced security policies
- Remote wipe
...on your iPhone!
Read the announcement from Terry Myerson, and coverage at ZDNet, APC & Engadget.
