Rumor has it Apple has licensed Microsoft’s ActiveSync technology which would allow synchronization between an iPhone and Microsoft Exchange. How important is synchronization with a Microsoft Exchange server to your iPhone purchasing decision?
Would ActiveSync (or other) Exchange Synchronization Impact your iPhone Purchasing Decision?
- Yes, I need to synch with Exchange, and IMAP is not an option (96%, 1,683 Votes)
- No, I already bought the iPhone (1%, 26 Votes)
- No, I have no need to synch with an Exchange server (1%, 20 Votes)
- No, I will buy an iPhone either way (1%, 10 Votes)
- No, IMAP Exchange support is all I need (0%, 5 Votes)
- No, I don’t want an iPhone (0%, 3 Votes)

UPDATE: 13 Dec 2007: This post was recently referenced on Apple Insider (Apple Working on improved Exchange support for iPhone), indicating that ” In a recent web poll, 98 percent of respondents said support for ActiveSync or some other form of Exchange synchronization would greatly influence their decision to eventually purchase an iPhone.” At the time of Apple Insider’s post, that option in the poll was representative of 98% of all poll votes. As that post drove traffic to the poll, the numbers have deviated from the aforementioned 98%.

We need full support for exchange server WITHOUT requiring IMAP. this means wireless syncing for calendar, tasks, email, contacts. I love the iphone so please please Apple, get your act together and just pay for ActiveSync licensing! It may cost you a bundle in the short term, but it’s the only way to penetrate the corporate IT guys.

I would absolutely get an iPhone if it supported Activesync (over the air contacts, email, calendar at a minimum, DirectPush would be nice).
It’s really that simple: when they add it, and if they do a good implementation, I will buy an iPhone. If they don’t, I never will.
