Have you heard how the computer hacks are having a field day trying to crack the iPhone operating system? They are trying to find flaws in the OS so a hack can take control of the phone. And trying to hack the phone to work on any network. I read that a bug in Safari was found but it was actually on the new Windows beta version.
My work has issued a statement saying that the security of the iPhone is questionable and they forbid using it for company business. One complaint was that you could not install a firewall on the iPhone. And that the browser could be hacked and allow calls to be make by the hacker. Yet we use the ever stable Windows operating system. Sounds like an over reaction from the reports I have heard about security. How secure is a Blackberry, or is it just not in the spotlight. Any thoughts?

Like you, Stitch, I would be stunned to find out that Windows doesn't have any of the security issues that the iPhone has. Sounds like your company has subscribed to the fear, uncertainty and doubt that Apple's competitors tried to spread as soon as the iPhone was announced. I read that some companies are not going to initially support iPhone except for the highest managers who say they want an iPhone. The way I see it is that as soon as a few managers realize how mind blowing it is, and when they find out the iPhone doesn't have more or less issues than a blackberry, then iPhone acceptance will start to accelerate!
There was an official announcement from my employer that the iPhone will not be supported, but I think it has more to do with making our systems compatible, as opposed to any fear with the iPhone's security.
