Many people get iPhones for business rather than personal reasons.  To them, the iPhone is nothing more than an equivalent of a Blackberry

 

I couldn't disagree more. The biggest weakness it had for the first year was lack of Exchange support. And a quick look at the top 100 apps (payed and free) shows about 80% of them to be games- despite some good business software being out. Sure not everybody downloads apps, but when they do most of them are entertainment. The bulk of the non-games are media/sports oriented. Until Apple gets their shit together in enterprise support they will trail RIM in the sector. Though clearly they are improving.

 

The problem is the cost of apps does little to encourage large investment. But that is hardly insurmountable to change.
