iPhone to use microsoft Activesync?

The latest news on the iPhone is that it will infact have the capability to user microsoft exchange server, which will require apple to license the activesync protocal. This is a very big step for apple to make the iPhone appealing to all users, which any business user will tell you that they must have push email and synchronization capabilities on a phone. With only one more day to go before the iPhone launches this is probably the best possible news I have heard so far, all that is left to find out is how will that beautiful touchscreen hold up over time.
