    Hmm... Could this mean the possibility of better security for the new iPhone. A finger print scanner, maybe. As I said in an earlier post, they would have to build something really exceptional to catch up in their sales. Maybe this might just be it. iPhone, the most secure phone ever designed.

    More likely apple will launch a enterprise server like service for idevices, allowing a company to monitor and controll employee contact lists, web usage, remote wipe/lock ect, ect, ect. This would be huge for apple as it would allow them to mop up some of the remaining RIM enterprise customers. Can you say "DEATHBLOW"

    They just bought them for their patents. The next article will be: Apple Sues [Insert Company] over Patent Infringement.

    So I guess from now on Apple are just going to buy out companies and use their inventions and call it 'innovative' and 'revolutionary.'
