iPhone Business App Deployment

We were thinking how to make deployment of custom business apps easier when I came across this article: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/193851/iphone_os_40_makes_iphone_a_business_contender.html

Apple is also cutting the cord, enabling IT admins to push custom business apps wirelessly over the air rather than requiring users to sync with iTunes.”

It sounds like it would work like the BlackBerry Server, enabling IT to deploy apps locally, within the organization. This would make deploying updates much easier (obviously), while enabling custom business apps to quickly change with the dynamic nature of businesses. Sounds like a step in the right direction. The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad already provide great user experiences to the masses. Now, business users will start gaining confidence in these devices for use within their organization. Who will be the early adopters and want user-friendly business apps driving how they view their organization's data?
