I just hope this is true and not the usual fluffy marketing speak. According to Fortune magazine, it seems that an Enterprise, corporate iPhone is upon us. If this is true, it will be great news for the consumer, business and, of course, Apple.

It seems that this week Apple may be about to announce their new Apple iPhone SDK, just up the road from me at their headquarters in Cupertino. Is this event going to lead into a subsequent announcement with Apple unveiling their customised Enterprise email solution?

There have been rumours that Apple have licensed Microsoft ActiveSync, or they’ve got into bed with Blackberry, with their Blackberry Connect offering – but I still think Apple will go their own way.

Analysts are saying there are four likely scenarios at the moment:

• from internal development (most likely),
• third-parties including MSFT (next likely) with its ActiveSync technology,
• or RIMM Blackberry Connect (possible but less likely)
• or a combination of two or more.

I like my iPhone, but I love my Blackberry. If I can get over the air syncing, some of the functionality of the Blackberry, and of course, Exchange corporate email on my iPhone – that’ll be it for me. Converted.
