PS: I am an apple fan and have an iphone, appletv and a mac. but Itunes is dangerous. If you were in charge of IT systems and had to account for every piece of software on every corporate system would you allow it? Media licesing is a dark area, I certainly do not fancy the thought of being locked up for several months and a hefty fine (as the law is allowed to for illegal material on corporate systems) due to some idiot user wating to play their personal illegal mp3's... If you want to dowload mp3's and other media do it at home! Posters above need to get out more and see the bigger picture. itunes = security issues & licensing issues.

I.T. simply doesn't want or know how to handle things that want to work "out-of-the-box". It's in their job description to fix things that are broken, so if Apple provides a solution that simply works, IT jobs might get cut in half as well. It's definitely something to think about. If anything, Apple could really setup some nice courses to offer quick certification to IT Specialists that have been using Windows their entire lives. If Apple does it right, they can definitely setup an entire shift and acceptance for themselves in the corporate market. It’s so true.

Apple MUST come out with a command-line tool, with at least 27 different parameters, all of which are required, for the iPhone to be at all useful in business. Apple should know by now that I.T. HATES everything that connects together and just works. If it doesn't takes hours or days to tweak and configure, it's obviously too simple to be a useful tool.
