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!

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. Please feel free to copy or directly mail my NW account: john_...@nww.com .

Thanks.
