OpenVPN Compatibility?

Does anyone know of a way to get OpenVPN to work with an iPhone? Our business utilizes OpenVPN and I'd like to let our iPhone users access through this type of connection. Thanks for any thoughts!

MacBook Pro 2.16, Mac Pro 2007, Mac Pro 2008, iPhone 3G, Mac OS X (10.5.4), Both Mac Pros running RAIDs

Yes, I want this very badly too.

To be clear: I work in the mobile industry, and have influence over purchasing and development decisions within the area for major global brands.

I already have two iPhones and would consider buying a Mac except that this whole walled-garden approach is a +real pain+ for the end user ... in particular, OpenVPN support is required! (Also, we need XMPP built in to the phone, same as SMS... an open spec for XMPP-based contact sync, image and file send/receive integration)

I won't buy any more Mac hardware until this is fixed.

If Android get it together and Apple don't respond, I'm jumping ship.

i would like to see the openvpn built in OS or as standard application, as well as tethering(is already there but hidden).

Unfortuante it seems to be not technically problems but marketing politic.
The other manufactures have no problem withhin.

This sommer i will check to swing to N900 or nexus one (company wide) if by apple in next version of OS nothing changes.
