So, here's a funny one. The iPhone, for someone like me, is a complete 100%
non starter. Like probably 95% of corporate America I work in an Exchange/Outlook
shop, and Apple goes out of their way to antagonize us, presumably to keep
their gear 'cool.' If there isn't a mail client that will talk to an Exchange
server as well as a Blackberry does then I can't use it. However, a friend
of mine last night showed me his iPod Touch. I'm not sure how far I'd have
to go back to think of a device with a 'HOLY SHIT' factor like that thing.
The Wi-Fi works reasonably well, the display is out of this world, and the
interface is, indeed, stupid cool. The lack of Ogg/FLAC/Linux support means
I still can't buy one, but I have to admit my debit card was SERIOUSLY itching
after playing with it for a while. The original iPods were just cute MP3
players, or not even that, they were cute lo-fi DRM'd music players. The
Touch, though, is something else entirely.

It's a nice piece. The big downside is the small capacity.
16G max? So, I got a Classic 80G and don't need no stinkin'
compression and fidelity is wonderful.
Bet you they will have a large capacity version out at some
point

Thad, read below. Forget that virus infested mail client(Outlook), the IPhone
will have Lotus Notes. The Defacto Big Business Email client with the best
Calendaring &Scheduling in the business. This changes everything. !
Update: Common Time:
"CommonTime announce support for the Apple iPhone
Following this months announcement by Steve Jobs co-founder and CEO of Apple
that “ we want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan
to have an Software Development Kit in developers’ hands in February.”,CommonTime
have stated their intention to develop for the iPhone.
"We can't say how delighted we are to be coming back home to an Apple device,
our very first mNotes product was for the Apple Newton back in 1995, we believed
in the platform and loved working with Apple. We will have a full mNotes5
solution for the iPhone and a desktop synchronization product for the iPod
touch available by summer 2008, this will be a true rich mNotes client with
high data fidelity and rich functionality that can really capitalize on the
unique usability of the iPhone." said CommonTime CEO, Nigel Mackrill."

You know, NetWare and Lotus Notes in their time were pretty decent tech. There
are also other groupware products (including free software ones) that are
quite good. But M$oft keeps Exchange tight as a drum. Too bad.

I know a few of those places are mixed shops. I'm not arguing, but VERY few
places have chosen Lotus/Domino over M$oft recently, the big boys made choices
in the 90's they don't want to change.
