Thoughts on the Run

Fortune has an article on the top 10 reasons IT won’t support the iPhone … and I don’t care about any of them.

Here they are for you to decide:

1 Doesn’t natively support push business email or over-the-air calendar sync.
2 Doesn’t accommodate third-party applications, including those internally developed.
3 Doesn’t support securing data on the device through encryption.
3 Can’t be remotely locked or wiped in the event of a lost or stolen device.
5 Lacks a hard keypad that provides feedback, which isn’t ideal for rapid and accurate input.
6 Has limited service provider support and its carrier lock-in inhibits flexibility.
7 Comes with a premium price tag.
8 Is only the first generation.
9 Lacks a removable battery, so when the battery kicks it, so does the device.
10 Lacks case studies of firms that have deployed it enterprisewide

Fortunately, I don’t want to work for a company that believes or views the above as issues.
