For those who are busy, outgoing and are often in meetings, using your laptop (however small) is often not very practical so you end up taking notes through the old fashioned, and lot cheaper method, the pen. However not only does that hurt your hand after a while, but you get a result that you cant search, send off instantly, or mess around with on Word. In fact you often end up re-typing it anyway to make it usable which is frustratingly time consuming, and makes you wish there was a better solution.

After a long wait the iPhone has gone corporate. The offer is fairly simple and does not offer much over getting the iPhone as an individual, except that your local IT department can now just call their usual AT&T business representative. The pricing and the plans will remain the same as an individual purchase and still require a 2-year agreement.

The details are as follows:

• $45 per month for unlimited data, visual voicemail and 200 SMS messages, $55 for 1,500 SMS messages, $65 for unlimited SMS messages.
• For an extra $25 per month you can add a 20MB monthly data plan that is good for 29 countries, $60 per month increases that limit to 50MB.
• Activate by March 31, 2008 and qualified accounts will receive a service credit of $25 per month that is good through December 31, 2008.

While this could be good news for those looking to convince their IT department to get them a company issued iPhone, I am still not convinced the iPhone will be a BlackBerry replacement in the business market.
