 iPhone OS 3.1 now enforces Exchange encryption policy, may block pre-3GS iPhones  

 http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/10/iphone-os-3-1-now-enforces-exchange-encryption-policy-may-block/  

If you get into the comments below the article it will explain why this is a hardware issue not a software issue…and it’s entirely dependent whether your IT has that encryption switch on. 

But we are hard core meat eating business men and women and we want to get a document from our subordinate while sipping a Starbucks at the airport, edit that damn thing with one hand, and roll out so we can play Resident Evil 4 and Zenonia on the plane and not worry about that hodge podge while at 35,000 feet and slamming back a couple vodka tonics and watching the idiot next to us play brick breaker on his Blackberry… cause that’s what it’s all about!

First, let me start by saying that I love both platforms.  Both offer outstanding versatility for a mobile platform.   I give them both an A+ … so my recommendation is to buy BOTH of them.  That’s right, shell out the $13 for Quickoffice and the $10 for DTC  UNLESS you don’t have the Microsoft Exchange Server (MES)…then you only have to shell out the $5 for DTC, but screw it…I’d just ditch DTC all together if you don’t have the MES.

So the skinny is this.  If you are editing Word docs and you have the MES then DTC is the way to go for easy access to you documents (DAMN APPLE AND NO CENTRALIZED FILE SYSTEM!!!…but I digress)  … If you are using MobileMe then Quickoffice is the fastest way to access your documents.  But both offer this very clumsy way of accessing your documents if you first email the document to the developer’s website…which just sucks and leaves you feeling paranoid that you sent the company’s financials to the ort cloud!

Now Excel…DTC has not updated to allow editing of Excel (yet), but you can in Quickoffice, therefore Quickoffice gets points for this currently.  Quickoffice offers the same great mobile ingenuity on Excel as Word but you are still on a very small screen so you must be extremely dedicated to make any changes. 

Quickoffice also gets points for their file and folder system to store documents.  It’s like a drive…you can create many folders and organize your files to your heart’s content.  DTC gives you a single folder to keep local files…so you have to mix you favorite recipes, your NFL draft picks, and your company’s direct labor rates all in one batch…which sucks.

My job is tremendously Microsoft Office  heavy and I find that the pair of these applications together work to solve all my needs.  I use DTC to grab files off my exchange server fast…but Quickoffice is my workhorse…I love them both as my little binary star on my front page.

I’ll let the update pic tell the whole story.

For those late in the game, iStat is still out there.  It has a ton of features that the average iPhone user is not going to use, but one of those features is a free memory button and it works great!  Get it now before Apple pulls it…and they will…or at least that feature!

For those in the future that will not have access to it, or those too cheap to drop $2.   The best way to “unmeasurably” free up your memory is to force quit applications.

For Firmware 1.0 and 2.0:  While application is running, hold down the home key until the app quits.

For Firmware 3.0: While application is running, hold down the on/off button until the ‘slide to power off’ is showing, then hold down the home key.

The app that is the biggest hog is Safari, if you do this with Safari up, you will free up a significant amount of memory…but nothing like what the free memory apps can do.

A free memory application should be on Page 1 of your iPhone, you will use it often, and those who have it will have a better iPhone experience all around.  Free Memory and iStat are good for the 3GS’s 256k RAM.
