iPhone Exchange Support

E-mail on the iPhone needs to be addressed, NOW.

I am on way way into work and I attempt to check my e-mail. It is automatically updated so it was fine, but throughout the day, if I want to updated it, I expect to wait a good 5 minutes.

I suspect the number of e-mail address it has listed on the iPhone impacts the update time, but I'm not sure.

My point is there should be a better way to do this. When I was on the Treo 700wx program, I had the pleasure of being placed on the GOOD Link server. It wasn't quite as integrated as the Blackberry Enterprise Server client, but it provided almost instant e-mail updates.

If there could be some applications similar to either the Blackberry or the GOOD Link on the iPhone, I think it would almost immediately overtake the enterprise market. Only lasting concern is the typing. I personally noticed I am slightly slower on the iPhone then I was on the Blackberry. I would say, I'm about as fast as I was on the Treo. If Apple could develop the iPhone keyboard a little more, the it would be a clear winner in the business market.

I also want to refresh my request for a OWA interface similar to the web based Gmail.
This would be a big winner.
I wonder if our on site engineers could develop the OWA interface, HMMMMMM.

I will do some research and get back to you with updates.
