Shit Coming Out Of Someone’s Mouth Is Gross

I am fairly OS Agnostic as I actively use three machines at home, 2 Macs and a Vista Machine. My Macs are actually supplementary to my Vista Machine that I primarily use. I like the Macs but I guess Windows has been ingrained in my life for so long that I can’t seem to get away from it. Vista is running great for me so I have no qualms with it. It’s just shiny happy to me. As for cell phone OS . . . . . The shit that was coming out of that guy’s mouth was incredible. Does he know anything about the iPhone? Seriously. Had he not heard that ActiveSync was coming to the iPhone so it can be used with Corporate Exchange Servers? Now don’t get me wrong, Blackberry’s are great and probably are a better choice for a business users but honestly, I think that with ActiveSync on the iPhone, the email sync is going to work 10-100 times better then Blackberry. The functionality of the phone hardware wise might be the tipping point. The physical keyboard may be a boon for anyone whois using SMS, email, or editing documents.
This video wasn’t about the physical device, it’s about the software on the iPhone. Krakow is stating that the iPhone OS is crap and should be replaced by WinMo or Blackberry. I don’t think so, OS X iPhone is a great operating system. What the phone needs is exchange access. Hm, Microsoft licensed ActiveSync to Apple to put on the iPhone to intergrate with the mail, calender, and contacts on the phone. The email application on the iPhone is very nice, it just needs to get access to Exchange. With ActiveSync, this is done without any middleware services like BES on the Blackberries. Apple has made a better, slicker interface with corporate email. Windows Mobile is just too hard of an OS and Blackberry doesn’t put it’s OS on any other phones by Blackberries so why would they license it to Apple? I don’t think Krakow understands that the resolution is not putting a different OS on the iPhone but getting the features onto the phone. In this case, it’s ActiveSync. I don’t know if the iPhone will be a viable enterprise/business phone, but the crap Krakow was spewing was absolute non-sense.
