Deploying iPhone and iPod touch 1

This chapter provides an overview of how to deploy iPhone and iPod touch in your enterprise.

iPhone and iPod touch are designed to easily integrate with your enterprise systems including Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007, 802.1X-based secure wireless networks, and Cisco IPSec virtual private networks. As with any enterprise solution, good planning and an understanding of your deployment options make deployment easier and more efficient for you and your users.

When planning your deployment of iPhone and iPod touch consider the following:

ÂHow will your company’s iPhones be activated for wireless cellular service?

ÂWhich enterprise network services, applications and data will your users need to access?

ÂWhat policies do you want to set on the devices to protect sensitive company data?

ÂDo you want to manually configure devices individually, or use a streamlined process for configuring a large fleet?

The specifics of your enterprise environment, IT policies, wireless carrier, and your computing and communication requirements affect how you tailor your deployment strategy.

Activating Devices

Each iPhone must be activated with your wireless carrier before it can be used to make and receive calls, send text messages or connect to the cellular data network. Contact your carrier for voice and data tariffs and activation instructions for consumer and business customers.

You or your user will need to install a SIM card in the iPhone. After the SIM card is installed, iPhone must be connected to a computer with iTunes to complete the activation process. If the SIM card is already active, iPhone will be unlocked and ready for immediate use; otherwise, iTunes will walk you through the process of activating a new line of service.

iPod and iPod Touch specifications

The Apple iPod, first released in 2001, revolutionized the way we listen to music. This portable media player, with its sleek design and user-friendly interface, quickly garnered a dedicated following. The original iPod featured a mechanical scroll wheel and a minimalist aesthetic, allowing users to carry their music libraries wherever they went. It was a game changer in the digital music landscape, encouraging both casual listeners and audiophiles to embrace the concept of portability.

As technology evolved, so did the iPod. The introduction of the iPod Mini in 2004 marked a transition to a smaller, more compact design. In 2005, Apple launched the iPod Nano, which showcased an even slimmer profile, vibrant color displays, and flash storage for improved resistance to shocks. The most significant evolution came with the introduction of the iPod Touch in 2007, which transformed the iPod into a more multifaceted device.

The iPod Touch brought a touchscreen interface, resembling the iPhone. It allowed users to access not only their music but also apps, games, and web browsing capabilities. The device was powered by Apple's iOS, featuring a robust App Store that offered thousands of applications, from productivity tools to entertainment options. With Wi-Fi connectivity, the iPod Touch enabled users to stream music and videos, browse the internet, and utilize apps without being tethered to a computer.

In terms of audio quality, iPods have consistently featured high-performance DACs and audio processors, capable of delivering excellent sound reproduction. With support for various audio formats, including AAC, MP3, and Apple Lossless, users could enjoy their music without compromise. The integration of iTunes provided a seamless ecosystem for purchasing, organizing, and syncing music.

Throughout its iterations, the design of the iPod Touch has also evolved. The latest generations sport a sleek aluminum casing, Retina displays, and advanced camera systems. Features such as FaceTime, iMessage, and Apple Music integration have positioned the iPod Touch as a versatile device, appealing not only to music lovers but to a broader audience seeking a portable multimedia experience.

Ultimately, while the rise of smartphones may have overshadowed the iPod, its impact on the music industry and digital media consumption remains undeniable. The legacy of the iPod and iPod Touch is characterized by innovation, portability, and a continuous quest to enhance how we experience music and entertainment in our daily lives.
