Thinking aloud

iPhone/iPod/iPad sw application approval process as it exists today is not compatible with enterprise IT practices. That is, to get an application deployed inside a company, the company would have to get Apple's approval. It's unlikely that companies, especially large ones, would go for it. Inserting Apple into the IT decision chain infringes upon internal governance model, creates IP/disclosure, and other issues.

This situation presents an opportunity for Google and Microsoft to aggressively pursue mobile enterprise business.
