New iPhone Software Update at a glance



Well here we go: Apple has released the latest software release for iPhone and that truly has pushed it on the top and we are THIS close to iPhone Version 2.0 (and that is the time that I will buy mine and not sooner. Here is the outline of the additional functionality with the application of this update from Apple:

1.) Exchange Server ActiveSync
2.) Push Email direct from Exchange server
3.) Push Contacts direct from the Exchange server
4.) Access to Global Address list
5.) Support for Certificates and Identities (great for Corporate based systems)
6.) Wireless 802.1x and support of WPA2 (great security)
7.) Enforcing Server based Security Group Policies
8.) Remote setup and configuration Tools
9.) Remote Wipe ( this is great incase someone looses the phone

This is in addition to all the functionality that is already built in to the device. Wake makes it so much nicer is the fact that all these new additions are built in to the existing application and there are not steep learning curves. A Well thought of step on Apple's side.

We have to also acknowledge that Apple has had the full cooperation of Microsoft in all this and they have helped a great deal to facilitate these new developments.
