Apples move to add enterprise features to the iPhone is good news for the company and for corporate users alike, according to American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu. The biggest news from Thursdays enterprise and SDK event, according to Mr. Wu, was that the iPhone will be gaining support for Microsofts Exchange Server product.

Already, AAPL announced Genentech, Disney, Nike, Stanford University, and others as iPhone enterprise customers."

Apple may have some enticing offerings for the corporate world, but that doesnt necessarily mean Research In Motions Blackberry will be going away any time soon. "We continue to believe it is difficult to replicate Blackberrys robust push e-mail, but iPhone has improved their product and is preaching the benefits of a simpler architecture," he said.
Apples architecture will eliminate the need for separate server software, offers better leveraging of Microsofts Exchange Server, and supports a direct native Exchange connection eliminating the need for third-party conduits. Despite these offerings, "Apple has a long road ahead in making inroads in Enterprise," according to Mr. Wu.
The iPhones new enterprise features will be available as part of the free iPhone Software 2.0 update in June. iPod touch users will be able to upgrade as well for a "nominal fee," according to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
Mr. Wu is maintaining is "Buy" rating and US$175 target price for Apples stock. Apple is currently trading at $122.29, up 1.36 (1.12%).
