iPhone SDK Wows...

Apple's iPhone SDK impressed developers, who said the tool addresses all three core groups: Developers, IT departments, and end-users. Developers liked the functionality of iPhone APIs, and the ability to store data using popular SQL Lite. Apple is licensing technology from Microsoft (MSFT) that will enable it to interact with Microsoft Exchange, and will enable "wipe and lock" and "on-device data encryption" along with other IT tools.

Consumers get push email that turns the iPhone into an instant BlackBerry (RIMM) rival. What's still missing? Multiple carriers, and corporate management tools.
