So while other manufacturers have been trying to sell the public on super small portable computers, Apple just did the end run and used the object that everyone knows, namely the cell phone.The iPhone's power and ease of use are indeed a compelling draw. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise: many, many button-downed business types are drawn to the iPhone, and would gladly use the iPhone if their IT depts allowed that.Now BB's are not going away any time in the near future; but the iPhone definitely can make some inroads into the enterprise segment.

The iPhone’s power and ease of use are indeed a compelling draw. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise: many, many button-downed business types are drawn to the iPhone, and would gladly use the iPhone if their IT depts allowed that.

Now BB’s are not going away any time in the near future; but the iPhone definitely can make some inroads into the enterprise segment.
