Apple iPhone gets Microsoft Exchange support!
What’s that sound? Hundreds of thousands of BlackBerrys being smashed on the floor? Well, maybe. Rumors were true, friends! Apple has indeed licensed ActiveSync. El Jobso and company have chosen a bombshell indeed to get the SDK event started. We’re talking full business services support here peoples:
- Push Email
- Push Contacts
- Push Calendar
- Global Address List
- Cisco VPN
- Remote Wipe
- Security Policies
- Device Config
- Certificates and WPA2 / 802.11x
Looks like the iPhone isn’t just for breakfast anymore…
Is this so? Nothing in the webpage yet.
Activesync? Really Activesync? You have got to be kidding me. How so very 1990’s. I thought Apple was a technology company?!
iPhone sucks, who cares…
you cared enough to make a post about it.
I’ll give it to Apple, they have good marketing, good UI, and good design engineers. Add a fully released SDK (read 3rd party apps), 3g service, and a blackberry client – I may actually buy one. oh and 32g of ram would be nice also.
proof? links? and like witty said who cares, BBRY 4 Life!
th iphone can’t even place a call without data
like the sidekick the i phone is 100%web driven blackberries can still make calls without data an us al the aplications as well an you don’t have to ask uncle steves permission to use a blackberry and you can unlock blackberries an have then STAY unlocked somthing apple WON’t let you do.
Where do you get your info. The iphone makes calls just fine when there is no data. I work in an area that does not have any data signal and yet I and several others make and receive phone calls all day on our iphones without data. We can even call our voice mail when visual voice mail is not working due to the lack of data
SUWEEEEEEEEET!
When, When, When?????
The reports been on cnnmoney for a hour or so.
LOL@ all the BB fan boys getting upset! Keep it up you noobs! Please!
Again a Galvatron posting that is almost unreadable. Good job!
Uh, yeah, you can place calls without data… but you have to be in a weird spot to have service and no data coverage…
The ONLY call based system that requires data is the Visual Voicemail because it streams it over the data (so you can rewind/ff). If you didn’t have data you’d just bring up the keypad and hold the 1 key to get to your voicemail like normal. Any more “Blackberry Masturbational Bitching” you’d like to throw out there?
(I have a Blackberry 8300 and an iPhone, fyi)
man… there are usually more comments on the comments of Galvaltron then the post it self…
ahahahahahhaha…. way to go galvaltron…
may be one day you will have your one own website… and people will try to crack the code in your posts to figure out to what you are sayin…
hahahah
BB fanboys arent getting upset, just stating facts. BBRY4LIFE
When will this be available for full functioning use?
galvatron what are you talking about, calls without data? you mean without a data plan? that one was bad even for you.
And yes full exchange, activesync. Really a good meeting with alot of good announcements about the phone. only thing is that the exchange and apps are coming in June. The sdk beta is out in an hour.

I don’t use Exchange for any of my email accounts so no big deal for me.
alot more than exchange was discussed. BG should be getting a new post on this ready.
Chase / Joe back with his Blog Spam.
Great post – no one else has this story yet!
B.G.R. constantly impresses me with the up-to-the minute timeliness, quality and accuracy of the information posted. He knows stuff that no one else knows! Keep up the great work!
i wonder if BB every approached RIMM to license their stuff instead of ActiveSync
What does RIMM care from an equipment standpoint. They make their $$$$ on licenses anyway…
So, you mean the iPhone is actually becoming current?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………..
Oh, and just to be clear, I’m not a BB user.
wait, activesync??? as in microsoft activesync?! apple is using microsoft technology?! what has this world come to?
