In many ways, absolutely. I strongly prefer anything based on
standards (I should note here that I do carry an iPhone, and do not
carry a Blackberry).
I suspect that if Apple & ATT implemented the following features, the
iPhone would become a lot more enterprise- and federal-friendly:
- Bill to corporate account (right now, you cannot use iPhones on
corporate ATT accounts, only personal ones).
- Policy enforcement (freeze settings such as "auto-lock after n
minutes" and "require password")
- Over the air re-initialize, so that stolen/lost units can be
sanitized over the air.
The first is clearly artificial--ATT does corporate billing already.
The second is solely in Apple's court, while the third would probably
require work from both Apple and ATT. None of these things require
building an equivalent to BES.
