Apple Inc. wants the iPhone to become a corporate e-mail gadget — and a portable video game machine. It's also teaming with a prominent venture capital firm to offer a substantial kitty — $100 million — to lure developers to the iPhone.

A beta version of the free software update went out Thursday; the full version won't be available until June.
