IT won't support the iPhone?

I've just read the Forrester Research findings in this week's Fortune magazine on why IT departments won't support the iPhone.

All the reasons are good, but it misses the point about modern IT.

IT departments don't dictate what users use, users decide. Fake Steve Jobs makes this point very well.

While all the points made in the Forrester paper are true. I'd suggest that these limitations need to be flagged to those who insist on using iPhones and other devices, but they won't be able to stop these being used.

IT can't stop staff using the iPhone. It's going to happen, so deal with it.
