IMAP Email

If you don’t use Microsoft Exchange, you can still implement a secure, standards-based email solution using any email server that supports IMAP and is configured to require user authentication and SSL. These servers can be located within a DMZ subnetwork, behind a corporate firewall, or both.

With SSL, iPhone and iPod touch support 128-bit encryption and X.509 root certificates issued by the major certificate authorities. They also support strong authentication methods including industry-standard MD5 Challenge-Response and NTLMv2.

IMAP Network Setup Guidelines

ÂFor additional security protection, install a digital certificate on the server from a trusted certificate authority (CA). Installing a certificate from a CA is an important step in ensuring that your proxy server is a trusted entity within your corporate infrastructure.

ÂTo allow iPhone and iPod touch devices to retrieve email from your server, open port 993 in the firewall and make sure that the proxy server is set to IMAP over SSL.

ÂTo allow devices to send email, port 587, 465, or 25 must be open. Port 587 is used first and is the best choice.

Enterprise Applications

If you are planning to deploy enterprise iPhone and iPod touch applications, you install the applications on your devices using iPhone Configuration Utility for Mac OS X or iTunes for Mac and Windows. Once you deploy an application to user’s devices, updating those applications will be easier if each user has iTunes installed on their Mac or PC.

Determining Device Passcode Policies

Once you decide which network services and data your users will access, you should determine which device passcode policies you want to implement.

Requiring passcodes to be set on your devices is recommended for companies whose networks, systems, or applications don’t require a password or an authentication token. If you’re using certificate-based authentication for an 802.1X network or Cisco IPSec VPN, or your enterprise application saves your login credentials, you should require users to set a device passcode with a short timeout period so a lost or stolen device cannot be used without knowing the device passcode.

Policies can be set on iPhone and iPod touch in one of two ways. If the device is configured to access a Microsoft Exchange account, the Exchange ActiveSync policies are wirelessly pushed to the device. This allows you to enforce and update the policies without any action by the user. For information about EAS policies, see “Supported Exchange ActiveSync Policies” on page 6.

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.
