News: iPhone Picks Up Business

Apple has finally broken through to businesses, with the company announcing its iPhone is now being regularly used or currently tested by over 70 per cent of fortune 100 companies, gaining ground on Nokia’s Symbian and Research in Motion.

Chief operating officer at Apple, Peter Oppenheimer, said the penetration of iPhones in the business environment had doubled since the release of the faster iPhone 3GS.

“We’re continuing to see a rapidly growing number of enterprise CIOs who have now added the iPhone to their approved device list,” said Oppenheimer at the company’s first quarter results presentation.
