“Goldman Sachs checks in with its cadre of IT executives and measures their appetite for Apple’s iPhone: 17% of 100 execs surveyed (that’d be 17 execs, we guess) said they expected to support the iPhone 3G within the next year,” Dan Frommer reports for Silicon Alley Insider.
“That’s a ‘very strong number especially at this early stage,’ says Goldman telecom analyst Jason Armstrong, who expects adoption rates to increase once the new iPhone and its enterprise-friendly software update launches on Friday,” Frommer reports.
“We think it’s a solid start for Apple: While taking some of the corporate smartphone market away from RIM is crucial long-term, we think it’s most important now for corporate IT to let employees who buy personal iPhones hook them up to their work email as a convenience,” Frommer reports.

Duh…..Of course its bigger.
I am first? Wonderful. Did you know that Apple just hired Segway’s CTO. Can’t wait for the new iRide.
Or maybe iRoll?
I still prefer a larger screen and more functionality of my matte screen MacBook Pro to a iPhone.
I also predict the death of the iPod. LOL!
Ok I’m serious here, the iPod and managing music is a LOT OF WORK!!
Is there some “ultimate” playlists people have compiled somewhere?
For example “Classic Rock Hit songs of the ’70’s?” so I can just click once and download without duplicates in my current collection?
I’m so tired of hunting and sampling via iTunes.
And what is up with the songs all having different volumes? Sure there is a option in iTunes preferences, but it doesn’t work and doesn’t work with iPods or burned cd’s.
Also iTunes “Sound Enhancer” absolutley sucks compared to the old Volume Logic plug-in (no longer available)
How do we get our iTMS music sounding as even as XM Radio stations?
17% of 100 execs surveyed (that’d be 17 execs, we guess)
Clearly sir you have never worked with execs!

@Raving MacHead
I agree. Keep up the volume, (of your iTunes sound complaints).
Nice Off Topic post “RAVING MACHEAD”.
Haha MacDorks only 17% of IT executives plan to support the iPhone 3G. And that number will prolly go down when everybody realizes the iPhone SUCKS. Nobody will ever use a stupid phone like that, especially in business. I know this because I know everything, without even doing any research, I just know. If I were Apple I would just close up shop, sell all my assets, and kill myself.
(There you go Ha ha ha, now you don’t even have to post on this article)
Damn I wish you were Apple so you would Kill yourself.
@Ha ha ha.
Piss off and play somewhere else. Like in a toilet.
Apple’s iPhone enterprise opportunity is on the rise.
How dare you post as me.
I’m the real deal.
I don’t like girls but I do like posting retarded nonsense on random websites.
Oops, MDN MW: Out.
That’s not funny.
Only you MacDorks support a company that produces products that work. What a bunch of loozers!
…. except Canada.
How grossly uncool. MDN’s pop-under advertisers are humping Blackberries:

@ Hal
Actually no, you weren’t first. Thank you for announcing to the world how utterly pathetic you are though.
@ Ha, Ha, Ha
Zat you, Zune Tang? If so, it’s nice to have you back. Although this is not your usual take on things. Along the same line of thinking though, COMPLETELY DEVOID OF REALITY!!
@ Jumbo:
Ha, ha, ha is a troll. Zune Tang is satire.
@Raving
I’ve found the sound evener thingy to work pretty well in iTunes and on the iPod. It’s not perfect, but pretty good. And it does work when burning CD’s, too.
As for the enhancer, etc., I’ve had a good experience with iWOW. I’ll look for the link…

It used to be $20. Looks like $30 now. But there’s a 14-day free trial.
In iTunes you can try the “Essentials” pages for up to 70 good songs around a theme, but it won’t tell you if you’ve already got the song on your system. You have to check manually for that.
It still amazes me that the peeps at apple inc. still have to address some of these non-issues. I can get to my work email in a second, um web access anyone?
The Exchange access issue was really a talking point the opposition (the peecee est.) used as FUD against the iPhone.
The FUD was so effective, apple is forced to overcompensate, creating umpteen ways to skin a cat in order to outmaneuver the FUDsters.
I admire apple, inc.’s ability to not succumb to the FUD. They are dismantling and disarming them instead.
