Apple is planning to eventually reveal enterprise-friendly iPhone features, but the device is already making an impression in corporate America, recent research reveals.

The latest ChangeWave corporate survey of people involved with technology spending decisions across U.S. businesses found that the iPhone is the second most likely product they plan to buy and those who have invested in one are highly satisfied with the device.

The research revealed that despite its 5 percent share of the corporate market, the iPhone ranked first in corporate smartphone satisfaction, with 59 percent of Apple's business customers saying their company was very satisfied with the iPhone.

Blackberry maker Research In Motion (RIM) came in second with 49 percent, a drop of 8 percent from the previous survey. RIM was dominant in planned purchases, with 77 percent of companies planning to purchase a smartphone in the next quarter saying it would come from RIM.

Apple's iPhone came in second with 11 percent.
