If you're a security conscious IT department/company you wouldn't put an iPhone into your environment. Think about the ability to Jailbreak an iPhone and what that means at an underlying security level of your data that resides on that phone. No thanks.

If you trust your users to keep the device properly secured, then I suppose it's OK. Battery life, apparently, isn't that great when you have ActiveSync on 24x7. Two of my colleagues have returned their iPhones for that reason. I don't know if that's a general issue, or they just had unrealistic expectations.

Besides the 'coolness'/'wow' factor, would you allow it onto your networks? Has anyone looked at the security/stability aspect of the device, now that the SDK is released and 3rd party apps can be installed on it?
