Of course, we all know Ballmer's motives in saying that the iPhone has no place in the enterprise (without benefit of the research Tim Cook brings to the table in this article) are as pure as the driven, Alaskan snow . . . after a few huskies have done their duty on it. Ballmer's vested interest with Microsoft is further demonstrated in his company's refusal to work with Apple on mobile Office apps for iPhone and iPad (why the tech press's deafening silence on that, by the way?) and Redmond's "me too" efforts with Windows 7 Phone.
Spreading the idea that the iPhone costs $500 a pop is false, irresponsible FUD, and Ballmer is not fooling the American public or enterprise CEOs, CFOs or CIOs who are looking into the iPhone for business because they know and love it for personal use already and understand its potential in the workplace. If 80% of Fortune 500 companies aren't listening to Randall Ballmer on this, in my humble estimate, that's a *good* thing.
