Apple iPhone Has VPN Capability!

June 29th, 2007

There has been much discussion around the iPhone and how it is only a consumer device, an ipod + mobile phone. It has even been said that the iPhone has no place on any corporate network.

Apple has recently published a new iPhone FAQ on their website and it has a surprise. “For secure Internet access, iPhone supports industry-standard Wi-Fi security and virtual private networking (VPN).” This is great news for those who want to work with the iPhone.

The downside is that a huge proportion of companies run MS Exchange + Outlook. Unless there is some huge surprise that iPhone works with Exchange (which we HIGHLY doubt) it will ruffle some feathers in the IT department when the management team and C level executives start asking to use the iPhone at work.

I guess we will start to find out more in the coming days after more people get their hands on the gadget of gold. The frenzy is on and we will see what the next chapter in the iPhone story is very soon.

The main question that readers want to know is “When can I get an unlocked iPhone in Europe and Asia?”
