In March of 2008, Apple and Microsoft announced a new agreement to offer built-in support for Microsoft Exchange on the iPhone. Today, June 9th 2008, the firmware update that will enable this feature is set to be released at the WorldWide Developer Conference 2008 (WWDC 2008). So what does this mean to you as an iPhone owner?

• On-the-road access to your Contacts: Your e-mail address book and information storage for the people and businesses you want to communicate with
• View and add/modify items in your Calendar: The calendar and scheduling component of Outlook that’s fully integrated with e-mail, contacts, and other features
• Real-time, over the air synchronization for your e-mail, contacts, tasks and calendar items via Microsoft ActiveSync
• Protect your business via customizable security policies: Includes the ability to remotely wipe all data from a lost or stolen iPhone, and to require security provisions for e-mail such as a password or PIN access
