The University of South Australia, South Australia’s largest university will support the iPhone 3G as one of its official corporate mobile handsets, the institution revealed yesterday, reports ZDNet Australia.
This represents the first confirmed move by a large Australian organization to officially support Apple’s handset. In tender documents recently published by the University of South Australia, potential suppliers were asked to choose handsets from a short-list that included models from Nokia, HTC and Apple. Research in Motion’s BlackBerry device wasn’t listed, notes ZDNet Australia.
Currently, the university has 578 corporate mobile phones, with 183 enabled for high-speed 3G services, allowing users to browse the Internet and use email. On average the institution replaces 150 handsets each year, says ZDNet Australia.
