Exchange via ActiveSync, 802.1x support, more coming in next iPhone update

During a special event at its corporate campus this morning, Apple announced that the next release of the iPhone software/firmware will include:

• Native Microsoft Exchange support (ActiveSync has been licensed for the iPhone)
• Push email and contacts
• 802.1x security support
• Remote wipe capabilities
• Cisco IPsec VPN support

Exchange functionality will be built into the iPhone’s current Mail client, and accessible through a new preset option (similar to the current preset options for Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.)
