WikitipApple control freak approach discouraging application developersDespite the appearance of the Apple AppStore, many leading mobile application developers have not launched products for the iPhone/Touch. They have two important concerns about the iPhone platform: First, while it has a blow-away appearance, its underlying capabilities are actually much simpler than the WinMobile or even Palm platforms, making it difficult to replicate advanced features; and second, because the Appstore is the only retail outlet for iPhone applications, Apple has huge power over third-party software suppliers. It has already shown that power by denying access to the store to at least one vendor because its application had functionality similar to a product from Apple. This iron control, which is typical of Apple, may be opening the door to Android, which has finally reached the market with a much more technically advanced platform and an open source mentality. Organizations should evaluate the capabilities of both the base platforms and available software before choosing a corporate standard mobile device. |

However these wireless voice networks are susceptible to usual attacks like viruses, spam, phishing, hacking, stolen data, denial of service (DoS), voice injections, man in the middle attacks, call hijacking, eavesdropping etc. The security of these networks become a major concern for enterprises because IT managers have no or very little knowledge how to protect voice networks. |
