First report on 2.0
Jul. 10th, 2008 06:49 pmI picked up the firmware tonight for my existing iPhone before the 3G release tomorrow. It installed very easily, no muss, no fuss. I'm mostly interested in it for the enterprise features.
The short/sweet version: Exchange works amazingly well. Push-email and corporate calendar? Yes please. The push feature is just as fast (if not faster) than I'm used to on the WinMo units.
More importantly to me, the Cisco VPN client is a full implementation of their client package. Duuuuude. It works perfectly with the full-on certificate-needing / SecureID / all-feeps-turned-on system that I use at the office (on a Cisco ASA5520). I can now use the iPhone to get to internal resources.
Mixed with the 2.0 jailbreak this means I'll finally have an anywhere, anytime fix-it kit. SSH and VNC to my internal servers, there in my pocket, protected by two-factor authentication should the phone ever get stolen.
Yes, the apps-store and the apps you can get for free are cool too. Much grooving on the simple Remote app, especially. But I'll do more with those later when the push-servers turn on fulltime and they work like they're supposed to... starting tomorrow. Until then the whole 'mobile me' thing is wibby and tools like the AIM client don't quite work as expected.
Any questions I can answer as long as I have it up and running?
