Businesses warming up to iPhone

From CNet.com

Tthe iPhone is making a guerrilla attack on the business world, brought into the corporate world by influential executives, CIOs rethinking their approach to deploying technology, and younger workers who move seamlessly between their personal and business lives.

There are several high-profile businesses, such as Genentech and Disney (both with strong ties to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, of course), that have declared their intentions to work with Apple on deploying iPhones inside their corporations. That seems to be having the effect of increasing the overall number of business smartphone users, however, rather than turning the iPhone into any kind of "BlackBerry killer."

Unless Research In Motion kicks out some serious innovation again, like they did with the originial Blackberry, they are doomed to the slow decline of Palm. The iPhone's progress in its first two years should be a major wake-up call to RIM.

Hat tip to Robin for pointing this story out to me.
