After a hot and torrid few months, Steve Wozniak’s love affair with the iPhone is waning.

“To tell you the truth I was really disappointed when the iPhone was introduced… half the phones in the AT&T store at the time were 3G phones,” Wozniak said at a press conference, according to a Sydney Morning Herald report. “I was shocked because Apple is bringing the full Internet [to mobiles]–full Web pages with pictures and everything–and it’s not 3G and I knew that would be a speed detriment.”

It’s a far cry from his earlier comments. The Apple co-founder waited in line with everyone else to buy “a whole bunch” of iPhones, and recently raved that the iPhone will revolutionize cell phones and the way we communicate.

By providing people with mobile access to voice mail, emails and the Internet, smartphones are veritable productivity boosters. Unfortunately, for many businesses these devices are also becoming an information security risk. A study from CompTIA indicates that 60 percent of companies are concerned about securing the sensitive corporate data these handsets can access. At the same time, a National Cyber Security Alliance study indicates that 73 percent of mobile device users don’t think about security issues, and nearly 30 percent give barely a thought to corporate policies on the matter.

SOTI’s MobiControl addresses many common enterprise concerns for mobile security. The software secures data as it travels over cellular and Wi-Fi networks, encrypting the data in transit and as it’s stored on the device so only authorized users can access the information. MobiControl disables device communication when required, and limits user access to prevent harmful Internet downloads and unauthorized software installations. MobiControl also gives businesses the power to remotely “wipe” information from a device if it is lost or stolen and the solution also alerts companies if someone attempts to install unauthorized software on a device, and it provides comprehensive, automated protections such as data encryption, user limitations and intrusion detections.

PortoMedia is probably the only start-up in the world inspired by the movie Carlito’s Way. While other companies see the Internet as the answer to that question, company founder Chris Armstrong has another idea. PortoMedia is setting up kiosks that will let consumers download movies to a flash memory key or portable hard drive.

The kiosks will be packed with hard drives that can hold 350 to 5,000 titles. Users then plug in a memory device from the company, enter a PIN code, and buy or rent a movie. When consumers get home, they simply slide the memory device into a dock connected to a TV.

A new ChangeWave survey has been released indicating a groundswell in increased popularity among corporate customers for Research In Motion’s BlackBerry platform.
