First up let me say; I own an iPhone, I like the iPhone and will probably use one until a smart phone alternative appears that has the application eco-system developed to a level I am comfortable. I generally fall into the category of smart phone users who use their device as a phone and portable ultra-mini computer.
Now that said, I do have concerns about the security of the device and the way it is slowly creeping into the corporate arena. The the following link from www.h-online as an example; Vulnerability in iPhone data encryption.
I will let you read the page for yourself, but in brief bypassing iPhone encryption can be as easy as turning it on! Add this to the amount of personal information that can be stored in 8 GB or more, and I would really recommend changing every password you have if your phone gets stolen, lost or even out of your possession for a matter of minutes.

Couldn’t help but notice this little wonder last time visiting the supermarket. The quick and dirty iPhone photo probably doesn’t do justice to the impact of what you are looking at. This makes you wonder what percentage of the prices just went on packaging alone! The size of the package is a little larger than A4 and contains a fairly slimline tiny little USB stick.
Waste much Woolworths?
