The company has decided that the iPhone will appeal to business users and is now working to ensure that its back-end enterprise billing and support systems will accommodate the device when it ships.

The iPhone is expected to have a number of shortcomings for business users, such as a lack of removable battery. “You’d be crazy to buy without that,” said Ken Dulaney, an analyst with Gartner. The phone also has multiple processors, which consume battery life faster than single processor phones.

The iPhone, an innovative mobile phone that incorporates iPod features and Web capabilities, is expected to become available in June. It will cost $499 or $599 depending on the memory size.
