Big banks consider allowing iPhones
Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. are considering whether to let employees use theApple Inc. phone as an alternative to Research In Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry for corporate e-mail, said three people familiar with the plans. The banks are testing software for the iPhone that’s designed to make it secure enough for company messages, said the people, who didn’t want to be named because the plans aren’t public.

I would not be surprised at all if iPhones became a company phone at the major banks. IPhones have consistently been beating out Blackberry's recently, so I can't imagine that after testing the security of the networks, that iPhone will not be the new phone of choice.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting because it could change the way people view iPhones. Blackberry is usually seen as the business person's phone, while the iPhone is generally more for the artsy person or younger demographic. If the iPhone is more accepted in the business world, it would certainly expand the customer base of Apple.
