    "Corporate users are also likely to be unmoved by the offer of free "push" e-mail service from Yahoo, and the iPhone doesn't include support for the Outlook Exchange mail servers used by most firms."

    Actually in Steve Jobs presentation which is viewable at Apple:
    http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/j47d52oo/event/

    Steve Jobs stated that the email capabilities will include the IMAP capabilities and actually consumers will be able to use IMAP with Yahoomail, as well as MS email server. So that means that all companies that use MS Exchange Server can use the iPhone. POP 3 accounts can also be used. It is very user friendly and flexible.
  2. james schauer from Toronto, Canada writes: Don't beleive the hype. There was a lot of smoke and mirrors in that presentation, destined for the media-masses that couldn't hope to know that the information they were giving does not add up... and a touch-screen keyboard? This is death for anyone who writes more than 1 email a day. A full color screen and dual-core processor means the battery life might be a day. And $600?? You've got to be kidding. I'll keep my BlackBerry iPod combo. If it was just a phone, and sold for $99, it would buy it too...
  3. Colin Chisholm from Halifax, Canada writes: I am very excited for the iPhone, it's already on my x-mas list. I hope the price drops by then and get a couple of Canadian cellular carriers.
