The APIs supported with iOS4 are good. They're not great, but they're good and present a compelling case in a lot of scenarios.
FIPS 140? HIPPA compliant? Cause me to not toss and turn every once in a while at night? Yeah not so much. My take is you need to look at your industry, your requirements, and then talk to others in the same boat. Look at your BB policy . look at your laptop policy (think of all the things you can do on your laptop that you can/can't do on your iPhone/BB . yet such little restrictions sometimes). Also, talk to the vendors in the space (disclaimer: I work for one). A lot of time is spent discussing what options are out there and I never walk away from a discussion about what is happening in the market. Sure I want to sell my wares, but sharing what I've learned with customers (I feel) is some of the most valuable information . hopefully we all learn something and you don't think of me as typical vendor scum. Apple will continue to improve upon what is in place (keep in mind how big and successful the consumer space is for Apple) and vendors will support the new technology. We'll see the same thing from Google/Android, MS/Nokia/Win Phone 7, HP/WebOS, etc. Just keep in mind the big picture here: it isn't about locking down a device and securing it . it's about making end users productive and providing a higher quality of service to those users. Yes, security is a part of it . but why are we giving people these devices / supporting them anyway? And now I'll step off my soapbox and look out the window of the train as I head back to my office.

Unfortunately the execs of the world see the glitz and glamour of the iPhone and they have the IT people scrambling to find a way to secure it to their standards. To my knowledge the hooks into iOS4 just can't handle that kind of security yet.

Not to be a BES fanboi; but we're talking apples and oranges here . not even in the same game.

There are some third party companies that say they can support iPhones with the same level of care as BES but I have yet to actually get one to work. We purchased a solution but it was very difficult to install and we still don't have the results we were promised.

I have nothing against the iphone but in a business I feel the Blackberry is better designed. Has anyone else had this issue and what argument pieces did you find to support your case?
