Analysts say that the 3G iPhone security issues are not yet resolved

One analyst, who does not wish to be named, said that even if the 3G iPhone has revealed all its excellent features, it is still not ready for the widescale business purpose.

Another analyst said that the enterprise must wait for a few months before that support and broadly deploy the second-generation iPhone. This statement was given by Jack Gold from J. Gold Associates.

According to Jack Gold, one of the limitations of the 3G iPhone is that the device lacks data encryption. As a result the data inside the 3G iPhone will be vulnerable in case the owner lost the device or the device was stolen.

Aside from Jack Gold, the business beta tester of the second-generation iPhone also said that it does lack the data encryption, which is the primary concern for all the business consumers. However, since the Apple Inc. is shipping new software for the 3G iPhone almost every week, they expect that the device will have more improvements on its security features before it would finally be sold in the market by July 11.

Another issue that raised the concern of Jack Gold and other analysts as well is that the 3G iPhone lacks the Apple development environment. They do not have enough staff. They also lack details about the durability of the device as well.
