Awesome to read that a New Zealand company claimed bragging rights to being the first in the world to successfully synchronise the iPhone 3G with Microsoft Exchange 2007. OneNet is a cool company dong several on-demand solutions including backup, exchange, anti-virus and sharepoint.
Cool that they’ve got the bragging rights to being first. Well done guys

*shrug* First in the world? one imagines Apple or Microsoft may have tested exchange sync at some stage prior to release.
Good grief. ComputerWorld and OneNet need to smacked on the head for such a pointless article.
Really, who cares? Yes it’s cool they can sync the phone to exchange but it’s hardly a Guiness world record. Looks more like a bit of a marketing angle for them.
Re: OneNet believes this was the world’s first email to be received by any iPhone 3G user.”
Sheesh! What about all the testers?
Maybe I should be the first in the world to cook my iPhone in a toaster? That’d be interesting…
PS: I have an iPhone 3G and have it syncing to Exchange. It’s cool but unfortunately I’m probably only the 3rd person – so no credo or balloons for me.
wait! I purchased a polycarbonate case from TradeMe for it. Maybe I’m the first to do that?
Guys – whatever happened to celebrating our local companies?
Hey guys – I apologize. Feeling a little cranky today after not a lot of sleep. I shouldn’t comment on blogs when tired.
Ben, feel welcome to delete my comment…
@Julian – as a matter of policy I don’t do censorship – happy to be lashed in the warm and supportive environment….
