Moving from Blackberry to iPhone is Dirt Simple. Expect "Native" Blackberry/Notes Connectivity Too! (video)

Story posted on: March 06, 2008


According to Apple's VP of iPhone software, Scott Forstall, migrating from blackberries to iPhone is now "dirt simple". And this thanks to enterprise configuration tools that will be available through the iPhone enterprise programme and that will let IT administrators create dynamically "profiles" that'll include all the enterprise settings for Microsoft Exchange, VPN, security, etc. And for Forstall, it's as easy as "a single tap on a web page".
"There's never been anything like this for a mobile device", said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.



On top of this, with the release of the SDK, I expect developers to write applications/utilities that will let iPhones talk directly to Blackberry servers or Lotus Notes servers, such as Activesync lets the iPhone sync directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Actually, a Blackberry server connector might be the easiest and most cost effective way to connect iPhones to current IT infrastructures that already have installed/set-up Blackberry servers to connect with their email servers. Though, that'd be fun to see Blackberry/Notes connectors to receive iFunds :-)
