Basically, prior to OS 3.1 the iPhone lied to Exchange servers about supporting on-device encryption, so “…thousands of users have been accessing e-mail, calendars, and contacts over Exchange connections through their iPhones or iPod Touches, not knowing they were compromising their corporate security. During that entire time, Apple has extolled its support of Exchange and convinced many businesses that the iPhone was a corporate-class device they should embrace or, at least, tolerate.”
It’s fixed now but it does raise some questions about how secure Apple hardware really is. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone (despite many, many frustrations) but I don’t think it makes a very good business device.

I think someone mentioned something about Puzzle Panel on Android during the episode. From a marketing perspective it’s a great idea, because the Android app store isn’t yet teeming with shit to the same extent that the iPhone app store is. Unfortunately, porting the game is probably more trouble than it’s worth for me, even assuming I could afford an Android device to test it on (which I can’t.)
Plus, as far as I know, Android apps have to be written in Java, and Java can suck my nuts.
Oh wait… no it can’t. If it could do that it would have one redeeming feature.
Mick Aloha, your employer seems to be very security conscious so while you’re considering adding iPhone support, you should probably check out this article: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9138042/Opinion_Apple_betrays_the_iPhone_s_business_hopes?taxonomyId=18&pageNumber=1

If you haven’t already checked out this week’s South Park, you might want to. Apoc, as a vegetarian you might find some humor in it by the end.
