Normally the communication tool of choice within the enterprise world has almost always been the BlackBerry. However, as
TUAW.com points out via TBI Research, support continues to grow for the iPhone for business users. Apple's hit solution to the telephone world is gaining ground, mostly due in part to both employees and executives picking up an iPhone for personal use and deciding they'll take on one for work as well.
However, TBI sees the iPhone having possible trouble cracking two sectors in the US. Government and finance will more than likely continue to favor the BlackBerry, but Apple could still make up for it in either areas. "These are huge industries, but only make up 20% of the total US workforce. That still leaves 80% of the toal 150 million US workforce," stated a TBI research note. TBI sees iPhone usage gaining speed in industries such as media, entertainment, hospitality, transportation and consumer packaged goods.
