CHRIS SHIPLEY: INNOVATION CONTINUES DOWN UNDER
Again I find myself on a whirlwind tour of the Land of Oz, invited by the ANZA Technology Network to meet about fifty young companies throughout Australia and New Zealand.

KEITH SHAW: IT BETTER START WORRYING ABOUT THE NEXT IPHONE
Better late than never, I finally received my iPhone evaluation unit from Apple (whoo!). After fighting off several co-workers, our summer intern and my 20-month daughter (don't ask) for control of the device, I was able to explore some of the device's features first hand.
My initial thought? IT is going to have some serious problems down the road.
For a lot of enterprise IT managers, it was easy to "just say no" for enterprise deployment of an iPhone - they could point to a general corporate policy (if they had one) about not supporting first-generation devices or equipment. Hey, even Microsoft has to generally wait until it rolls out a service pack or two before most companies start to take the offering seriously (good news for Vista fans - SP1 is set to arrive somewhere between January and March 2008).
Even if the iPhone-ravenous employee was able to get by the first "no" from IT, there is still difficult Exchange e-mail interaction, the slower AT&T EDGE wireless network and other issues that make the first iPhone not as enterprise friendly as most companies would like.
