How does this work “independently of Microsoft Exchange” as you need some sort of hook to get to the user mailbox, GAL lookup, sync etc. Regardless great progress and EMM is in a race with Good on the best chance to get iPhone accepted in enterprise.

Two issues though:

Why put in yet another dedicated solution if you already have BES, Exchange, Mobile Device Manager? iPhone is popular but not THAT popular to drop a enterprise size budget to support this.

Our Information Security / Firewall group have outlawed anything being in the DMZ – everything is behind their wall.

Still for companies that are iPhone centric or absolutely need iPhone support this is great progress.

I'd love to know the CAL cost compared to BES / MDM.
