PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

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.

The Cupertino-based company unveiled new software Thursday that reflects its intensifying effort to court business customers and placate third-party developers who want to build iPhone applications but have been locked out. A beta version of the free software update went out Thursday; the full version won’t be available until June.
