It's remarkable to see how the iPhone has been so impactful that it's pretty much made its own category of device.
Quoted: Despite such worries as data security, IT staffs are beginning to support Apple's device—especially if the CEO starts carrying one.
Quoted: Apple makes it easier for companies to reverse their iPhone opposition in part through upgrades to the software that make the device more business friendly. A version due in June, iPhone 3.0, will add security and management features expected to make it more attractive to large companies. "It's too early for iPhone to be a serious competitor to BlackBerry in the enterprise, but a year from now it will be," says Ted Schadler, vice-president and principal analyst at Forrester Research (FORR) who on Apr. 14 published a report on iPhone use by enterprises.

Ah, shucks...
Quoted: Apple suffered extensive network gridlock Friday morning, as many of the six million users of the original iPhone tried to upgrade to new software while the first buyers of the new iPhone 3G were trying to activate their purchases.
Quoted: The setback was a classic example of the problems that can follow when complex systems have single points of failure. In this case, the company appeared to almost invite the problems by having both existing and new iPhone owners try to get through to its systems at the same time.
