iPhone Enterprise Features: ActiveSync, Exchange, WPA2, Push Services

During the iPhone SDK event today, Apple announced that they would be including support for frequently requested iPhone enterprise features.

The new features include:

- Push email
- Push calendar
- Push contacts
- Global address list
- Cisco IPsec VPN
- Certificates and Identities
- WPA2 / 802.1x
- Enforced security policies
- Device configuration
- Remote wipe
- Active Sync and Microsoft Exchange support

These features (for both iPod Touch and iPhone) will come in the 2.0 Firmware release that will be released in June. All iPhone owners will get this update for free, but iPod Touch owners will be charged a small fee for accounting purposes.

A beta program is being offered, but you must apply.
