***Commentary: The iPhone Is Not a Smart Phone
by Paul Thurrott, News Editor, thurrott@windowsitpro.com

I've been testing Apple's hype-tacular iPhone since the company released it
to the public in a media orgy on June 29. And although some of what the
iPhone does is truly fantastic, none of the demo-friendly technology Apple
employed in the device is particularly compelling for business users. In
fact, I'd go so far as to say that the iPhone isn't a smart phone at all, at
least not in the conventional sense. Instead, you might think of it as the
cell phone equivalent of the Media Center PC you might put in your den.
Sure, it's superficially similar to the PCs you use for work. But you really
just use the Media Center PC, like the iPhone, for fun, and not for work. If
that's not obvious to you, please read on, at the following URL:

Networking Perspectives: Getting your iPhone to Sync with Exchange 2003
by Alan Sugano, asugano@adscon.com

A few weeks ago, a client asked me whether the Apple iPhone would work with
Microsoft Exchange Server because the client wanted to purchase one when
they were released. I suggested that he wait a few months until Apple worked
out the bugs. As you know, the iPhone doesn't work with ActiveSync, however
it does support IMAP. The client ended up purchasing an iPhone, and I was
tasked with getting it to sync with Exchange. Ideally, you should use Secure
IMAP/IMAP with SSL so your user name and password aren't sent in clear text
across the Internet. Visit the following URL to learn about setting up
Secure IMAP with Exchange Server 2003.
