FryPhone 2.0
July 29th, 2008
The Greatest Living Englishman on the iPhone, with a quote about enterprise IT that should be tattooed onto the retinas of CIOs as they assume their position:
Filed under Geek, Them |the iPhone is now a serious corporate contender: employee pester-power will see to it that it becomes the tool of choice for medium to large businesses that aren’t so pompous and deluded as to think dullness and bad design are a sign of probity and business acumen.

Its happening now, I’ve already shown one iPhone user how to connect to their company VPN and everyone else with company mobiles (Nokia/Vodaphone) now looks on covetously.
Do you really think so?
I haven’t used an iPhone, but I have used the interface on an iPod Touch. It wouldn’t cut the mustard in my opinion for heavy email use. Without a “keyboard” I don’t think you can class the iPhone as a good design for email use. Now if only the Safari browser was available for WM or RIM devices, oh wait a minute Opera 9.5 on WM6.1!
Isn’t the consumer smartphone of the future more likely to be the Android? At least the first reference design has a keyboard. Bring back the Psion Series 5 - that’s what I say!
I have an ipod Touch and wouldn’t dream of using it for text-intensive apps even though I have thin fingers.
