Mobile Management 7.0 Platform Support

Jonathan,

Symantec Mobile Management 7.0 will support the following platforms:

  • Windows Mobile 2003, 5, 6.0, and 6.1
  • Windows CE 4.x and 5.x

BlackBerry support will be added in the next release (7.1). The iPhone has serious SDK limitations that prevent one from doing real device management. We're trying to work with Apple to understand if and when they will add background process support as well as access to system information that we would need to manage those devices.

Thanks for your interest in the beta!
