The iphone would need to support the following to be used in my organization:

-Ability to accept policys, so that passwords policys can be enforced on the device.

-Ability to have mail pushed to the device from the server side.

-Ability to remotely wipe the device if lost or stolen (without calling AT&T).
The iPhone is a consumer device. Has been marketed as one since day one.

Business users were never the target audience.
