WSJ: The iPhone’s Great Email Debate 

Seems weird to argue that a single point of failure is a security benefit.

Good Question 

Steven Berlin Johnson:

Does this mean the only way you can do over-the-air syncing of calendar events and contacts (a feature I really, really want) is by connecting to an Exchange server? That would be pretty intense if Apple limited a crucial feature exclusively to users of a Microsoft product. Shouldn’t iCal and Google Calendar users be first in line?

Along the same lines, it seems weird that the iPhone’s Mail app can talk to Exchange natively, but Mac OS X Mail can’t.

Obsolete Skills 

If you’ve got any of these on your resume, it’s time to redo your resume. (Thanks to John Siracusa.)
