Fair enough. It doesn’t bother me because I don’t keep anything important on my phone and I rarely leave it laying anywhere. I don’t work in a traditional office setting so I don’t have to worry about my co-workers. 98% of the time my iphone is in my pocket if I’m not using it. Plus, if I found out a co-worker was fingering my things my fist would have a discussion with their face.
Oh, same with me! But with more and more people doing lots of e-mail and SMS messaging on their iPhones - and many of those people using them for business - suddenly you can have a LOT of confidential information floating around on a phone that everyone thought was secure.
Right for you security of the phone isn’t important but for many business users it’s huge. I wonder how CIO will feel about this now that they are enabling iPhones to have access to the company email.
