this is great new only for those who already have exchange. now that exchange for iPhone has been released it still has some shortcomings (u cant simultenaously manage personal and enterprise info)(no task synching) so as to jutsify setting up exchange to power an iPhone equipped workforce.
a much better alternative is to try exchange alternatives for the iPhone like HyperOffice which are inexpensive, uncomplicated and frankly offer you much more functionality than even exchange.
