AT&T Claiming 40% Of iPhone Purchases Coming From Business Users
   


For what it's worth, AT&T is claiming that for every 10 iPhone purchases, 4 of them are coming from business users, according to 9to5Mac.AT&T honcho Ron Spears made the below comment:Four out of 10 sales of the iPhone are made to enterprise users.  When the iPhone came out, what most people heard in the first year from '07 to '08 was oh my God, it's not BlackBerry secure.  This is not going to work on the enterprise space.  At the end of the day, it's just software.  That's all it is.  And by the time the 3G came out in '08 they had solved about 80% of the security issues.  By the time the 3GS came out last summer, most CIOS will tell you today they have very few issues around the security they need provided as they have come to know that RIM can do it because of the way RIM provides their solution.How about it MaclLifers?  Do you agree with AT&T's claim?  Are you seeing the iPhone pop up more in the enterprise, or is it still a "BlackBerry's World?"  Feel free to leave comments below!
