iPhone 3.1 breaking Exchange sync?

2009-09-17 Thread JCox
A number of news stories, such as this one from Infoworld 
http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/apple-betrays-iphones-business-hopes-723, 
note that Apple fixed a big but unacknowledged bug in the iPhone OS, but doing 
so means that earlier iPhone models can no longer sync with Exchange 2007 
servers that require on-device encryption.



Are you folks seeing this? And, if so, how are you responding? Any workarounds? 
Any word from Apple?



As a reporter for Network World, I'm also looking for direct IT comments.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] iPhone 3.1 breaking Exchange sync?

John,

The author goes on a long rant about your iphone lied about  
encryption to the server
and I'm sure that Apple will  respond  it depends on your definition  
of encryption.


Traffic is encrypted, local storage was not until today, fine with me!

Considering CPU usage and battery life, I'm wondering if any other  
device

(blackberry etc...) encrypts email locally with Exchange 2007.
Or do we have more liars around? Does anyone know?

I certainly hope that the Blackberry does... there is a nice  
advertisement for it

on a banner at the top of the author's article!
