Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Now available in beta form to "selected developers and enterprise customers", the update is scheduled for release in June. While it will be free for iPhone users, iPod touch owners will be charged a fee.
Heading the list of business-related changes is the inclusion of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. This allows the iPhone to be used with Exchange Server 2003 or 2007 for push email, contacts, calendars, address lists, remote wipe and other functions. These features integrate with existing iPhone applications.
"We started talking with Apple about licensing Exchange ActiveSync before the launch of the iPhone last year," said Terry Myerson, Microsoft's corporate vice president for Exchange. "In fact, I met with Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller almost daily for a period of two weeks ironing out the details of the agreement. The result is a true collaboration between Microsoft and Apple."
Other enterprise features include Cisco IPsec VPN software to reduce the risk of eavesdropping when connecting remotely to an intranet, support for WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1x authentication for more secure Wi-Fi connections, a configuration utility to simplify the configuration of multiple iPhones, and the ability to display PowerPoint files attached to emails.
