And the iPhone is only available from one carrier and most businesses use Verizon as opposed to ATT. so unless the whole company wants to switch then i doubt that they will make a dent in RIM's market. I have not seen anything on the new iphone that improves security features, i don't think that you can shut down the phone if it gets lost or stolen so that no private company data can be stolen. I feel that with the next version of the iphone, apple will be able to market to business users, i don't think this device is quite there yet.
