Anyone else remember when the ability to publish photos to .Mac (or something like that) was enabled without an update? Makes you wonder about what was really in 1.1.4.

I like the Tim Cook affect on Apple's stock price.

March 6th event will get a lot of people surprised:

This is the beginning of a new age of computing: The portable platform age. And Apple is set to dominate.

Google, EA, IBM and even MS enterprise software will run on iPhone and iPod Touch. SDK, whether Beta or not, will drop with all these... and will pave the way to the ultimate weapon: The multi-touch iTablet, with functionalities beyond iPhone.

Exchange is big, no matter what many people think of MS. It is used in enterprises that want better controls on email, and lots use it. I expect several sample iPhone apps to be demo'd on 3/6, even if the SDK isn't ready for general release.

Stock price wise - seems Apple has its goove back for now…

Exchange support would surprise me, I wouldn't expect to give full exchange support to the iPhone without Mail.app having it first. I really do hope they do both of these.

Well, not a huge surprise, since the Apple invitation to media included a road sign with the word "Enterprise".

Beyond AM... Beyond FM....Beyond XM.....iPHONE!

PLEASE, Apple, get Exchange support in iCal and Mail so I can stop having to use Entourage and deal with all the syncing hassles!

Like I said yesterday, OS X is riding into the corporate world inside the trojan horse called the iphone.

And everyone wants to cling on the Enterprise.

I thought Mail did have exchange support

I really need either Blackberry or Goodlink support. Our IT only support those two protocols for access to their MS Exchange server.

They will not allow direct IMAP support.

I Love it - anytime I am around people that have to connect to exchange servers and Lotus Notes they spend about 2 hours just trying to connect and then they still have problems. When are these IT professionals going to make it easy and productive to work outside of an office - God forbid that someone got an email by mistake.. People are so concerned with security but people still send emails to the wrong addresses - boy that is real security.

Exchange Administrators Please turn on the Mac services and IMAP support - what is it going to hurt?

If Apple does it right no one has to enable any unnecessary protocols.

Just ride on top of Active Sync and Notes Traveler. That's what they're there for.

That WAS the time to have bought APPL.

I really, really meant to!

Just read a story about Sprint's new $99/mo flat rate for everything, including unlimited data. In it was this glyph:

"All of this might have made for a rare day of positive Sprint headlines were it not for the fact that the announcement was accompanied by some truly ugly quarterly results and a pile of related bad news. The company swung to a fourth-quarter loss of $29.5 billion, a large chunk of that as it wrote off most of the remaining value of its ill-fated acquisition of Nextel in 2005. The quarter saw almost 700,000 annual-contract customers jump ship, and Sprint expects almost twice that many to bail out in the current quarter."

More than 2 million customers lost in 6 months. Anyone want to bet what phone most of those 700,000 are now using?

Severus Shnape? Trust me - he's not that scary, after all. And what's with adding extra e's to the end of his name? And why mention him at all in an article about how getting iPhones to fit into corporate IT systems better would make them seem shnappier? Oh, got it.

Wu's credibility is always doing an anti-Olga on the balance beam. Wasn't he the guy who insisted Apple was releasing a cheaper nano-iPhone???
