iPhone and Salesforce.com?


The weirdest financial news from today's earnings release has got to be Apple working with Salesforce.com to improve the iPhone as a business-friendly device. From the Dow Jones ticker:

"Apple executives confirmed that business software maker Salesforce.com Inc. (CRM) is modifying its products for the iPhone."

It's not so interesting that Salesforce is trying to make its software compatible for the iPhone, but it is interesting that Apple executives saw fit to comment on it. I'm waiting for the transcript to see if reading it in context will make better sense. Perhaps an analyst baited the Apple executives into a sort of advertisement for Salesforce. In any case, if you didn't know, Salesforce is a growing competitor for Microsoft in the business software world.
