My boss is meeting with a a group from Apple (including mostly sales, but also a couple engineers) to discuss what features the iPhone needs for us to actively support a deployment on our campus.
They had some specific questions about our infrastructure and capabilities. They also had these three questions: 1. Would you consider deploying iPhone throughout your organization without "over-the-air" synchronizing of calendar and contacts? 2. Would you consider deploying iPhone throughout your organization without web access to Java or Flash-based web applications? 3. Would you consider deploying iPhone throughout your organization with an email delivery solution that is comparable to push technology, but not push by definition? #1 My preference is to sync via Bluetooth. I don't see a need to spread my data across our whole wireless network when Bluetooth is there just waiting to be used. WiFi would be my second choice. Either way, it has to be encrypted. #2 No Java and no Flash does not impact anything we're doing on campus. It would, of course, be nice to support them, but it's not a priority for me. #3 I don't know what this means, but if it means another server supporting another protocol, I'd rather they didn't do it. Let's stick to POP/IMAP -- two things we know and already support. I think I'm also going to slip a comment in about how nice it would be to have some custom Javascript functions that would give us access to read/write from the contacts, bookmarks, notes, etc. Those functions would need to be enabled/disabled by web site/domain for security purposes. But it would sure be nice to have access to some of that from within our web apps if the user allowed it. Any comments on those items? Any comments/wish-list items that I might want to add to the list? The meeting is next month, but I need to have my input back to my boss within a few days.
