Hey, Matt.

Are you asking about VPN access, about SSL/TLS for IMAP/POP3 and/or
HTTP, about (the lack of support for) Kerberos, about physical
security, access to the device's operating system and/or interface,
putting a PIN on the SIM card, known exploits, historical frequency
of firmware/software updates?

Stanford has group looking at iPhones. Pose your questions, and I'd
be happy to contribute my knowledge of the device (such as it is).
