But, the corporate market is fairly saturated with RIM BES and MS Sync servers. We benefit no matter what Apple does, tho, which is A Good Thing. @Goeff - Excellent addition.

Nice to know the wireless at Cupertino is probably easier to hack than places that use WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise Supporting old versions of Exchange (or any old version of MS tech) would be an epic fail. 802.1x authentication is why they don’t work on our wireless network.

Could Steve Jobs pull an Apple Groupware rabbit out of his Apple hat at the event as well?... I believe it is coming, and if not at this event, no later than 2009... Apple only attacks markets MicroSoft is not throughly entrentched in and/or markets Apple believes MicroSoft holds a weak position. The mobile device market, consumer and corporate, is such a market. Today, Apple made it crystal clear they are moving straight into this corporate mobile platform market (disguised as a device market), which means Apple intends to do one thing - win. Whether they do or not win is another question. Make no mistake, when Apple enters a market the have zero plans of being a niche solution or one of many players, they move into a market to absolutely dominate it, while ensuring a large majority of their users love their solutions. This new war is going to be a joy to watch. We do know that IBM is soon to officially launch Lotus Notes for iPhone, and that it is likely to be a key announcement at the Special Event.
