“I would expect Apple in the future might see some potential in the enterprise market and maybe have devices for enterprise users, or maybe just add to their phone some of the features which would make the device more reasonable for an enterprise deployment,” said Monica Basso, research director at Gartner. “Certainly the support for (the Microsoft synchronization program) ActiveSync is one of these, (as is) independence from the carrier.”
