CUPERTINO, California (Reuters) - Apple Inc said on Thursday its iPhone soon will support corporate e-mail, targeting a new market and challenging the dominance of Research In Motion Ltd's popular Blackberry devices.

This takes the iPhone from being not really in the running in the enterprise to being very much in the running and gives RIM a serious challenge," Van Baker, an analyst with market research firm Gartner.

one good thing about the iphone is that alot of new features can be implemented via software updates, other phones can do this, but so far only apple is doing it

BlackBerry have been doing it for years, in the next firmware update I will see Video recording and HTML email amongst other things on my Curve with a bit of luck!

That is just so wrong Nokia have been doing it and with much more significant additions than just the ability for corporate E-Mail as really that is just adding what was intially missing.

Don't misunderstand me i do think the iPhone is a great devcie but untill it has 3G/HSDPA it will never be on my wish list but then it's not just the iPhone without those it's any device for me is a non starter.
