Business Apps for iPhone
From the start, some critics have panned iPhone because it isn't an open platform. Because it isn't "open," it also isn't a business device. People should have paid more attention when Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, hinted that other things would be forthcoming.
Now, Apple is introducing a software development kit [SDK] for the iPhone this February. And note the deployment pattern: Apple launches a "consumer" device. Consumers take the devices to work and then other business users decided they like it also. That in turn creates demand for using iPhones as enterprise clients. So now developers will be able to write those applications.
