There are lots of things... BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 28/05/2010 10:15:44 AM
And your reasons--security and server interaction--are good enough.

Couple that with the AT&T only service of the iPhone... the answer to your "what can a Blackberry do that an iPhone can't" question might well be "make a call in New England."


yeah, coverage sucks. but the original point was that people got the iphone for their business stuff and couldn't sync their MS apps with it. and i still hold that there is very little related to MS that can't be done on the iphone already. we've gotten a little farther away from that and i just want to put it back out there as a reminder. the only non-native (i.e. -- out of the bo stuff the iphone can't do in regards to MS business software is edit office documents. and again, "there's an app for that"
can't download and save e-mail attachments for example. can't store files. doesn't save e-mails or webpages to memory (basically, memory is not enough). no flash video. no folders. no multitasking.

i'm sure there is more...

You can also create a virtual machine running OSX on Windows *NM* BlackAdder - 28/05/2010 05:10:30 AM 292 Views
After Macs switched to Intel processing there were some hacks available to make them run on PCs. everynametaken - 27/05/2010 11:35:51 PM 619 Views
Do you know why IT will not run virtualization? It is quite simple. everynametaken - 27/05/2010 11:31:17 PM 624 Views

To use a not-so-oft-quoted phrase, "Not if it doesn't conform to Apple specifications." Ghavrel - 28/05/2010 05:53:54 AM 617 Views
