[UniMacTech] iPhone on campus

Tue Sep 9 10:13:18 EST 2008

Folks,

I've been looking at Uni support for iPhone/iPod Touch as a colleague  
and I are meeting with IT Directors (CAUDIT AGM) next month and we  
will be discussing iPhone amongst other things.

Although some sites <http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1012405.html 
 > have interesting discussions, I think it would be useful to create  
a more definitive listing.

By no means is below an indication that iPhone/iPod Touch is or isn't  
supported, but it does indicate "official support"  levels.

May I ask you to send me any edits if appropriate (ie if you know of  
support docos at your uni that I've missed) ?

Cheers,
Stephen
