With secure push email and over-the-air contacts and calendar features, users will stay up to date wherever they go. And thanks to the iPhone Multi-Touch display, users will find it easier to perform common tasks such as accepting meeting invitations and finding contacts in the company directory or Global Address List (GAL).

These device configuration and remote management capabilities allow IT departments to quickly and seamlessly deploy iPhone throughout their companies.
Enterprise-grade networking.

Employees will be able to authenticate via password, two-factor token, or digital certificate. iPhone will also support WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1x authentication — the standard for Wi-Fi network protection. These features help provide safe access to sensitive company information on iPhone.
Writing for Digital Arts, Steve Paris awards apature a four-star (out of five) rating and proclaims it “a great version that will please professional photographers and other creatives working with large collections of photos.” The redesign, Paris says, “has made the application more streamlined and efficient. The addition of new tools means there are even fewer reasons to visit another application when working on your projects, and the speed increases are definitely welcome.” Mar 06, 2008 from Apple.com
