The iPhone is a great phone…it has changed the way I access the digital world. However, many business features of the phone have been missing or janked since day 1. Revealing the complacency in the Apple’s business aspirations, Galen Gruman makes note of the most recent dropped ball- no email access via encrypted microsoft exchange server 2007:

Fixing a major but unacknowledged bug in the operating system, last week’s iPhone OS 3.1 update has rendered most iPhones and all iPod Touches incompatible with Exchange 2007 servers that require on-device data be encrypted, a standard safeguard used by businesses.

In other words, Apple has fundamentally betrayed its iPhone users and the businesses that have either explicitly or implicitly supported the device.

Apple betrays the iPhone’s business hopes.
