Configure the iPhone for UW Exchange

Apple today released the 2.0 version of the iPhone software. This upgrade is free to iPhone users, comes standard in the new iPhone 3G and is a paid ($9.99 I think) upgrade for iPod Touch users. One of the key improvements with this upgrade, is vastly improved support for Microsoft Exchange. Users will now be able to automatically synchronize their email, contacts and calendar. This synchronization is wireless and immediate giving iPhone users a similar experience to Blackberry and Windows Mobile users. Also similar is the ability to remotely erase the contents from the phone should it be lost or stolen.

OK, I’m sold. How do I configure the thing?

It’s (mostly) Official Picture 2.png

They wait for many is over. Apple has officially released iTunes 7.7. This update includes access to the App (application) store to browse new iPhone apps.

I’ll post more on it later, but you can snag it at the Apple iTunes web site.

To get the new applications (along with Microsoft Exchange support and other new features), you need to upgrade your iPhone to version 2.0 software. At the time of this writing, Apple has NOT officially released this software. Several web sites (Lifehacker, MacRumors and others) are listing links to an Apple web page to download an early version. Reports from users are that this version does seem to work, but it is NOT official and it could cause problems with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.
