Encrypt everything in storage, and when you receive the wipe command, flush the key. No need to purge what is being stored. No extra hassle for the user, because the key is stored for them.

Maybe things aren't what they appear to be. Time will tell. The security features sound nice but like you said those words seem awfully carefully chosen. Maybe things aren’t what they appear to be.

(If hardly anyone can talk with each other, like if you could only talk to other iPhone owners, it won't ever catch on) Cell networks need to be dramatically improved to allow for anything close to wide-spread usable quality. (people need to just know that video calling will work no matter where they are before they start regularly using it. If it seems spotty, they'll just forget about it) Until then it will be an extremely buggy, gimmicky feature that you might use to show off but when it came down to it, would sit idle. They're BARELY getting MMS standardized between different carriers (even just a few years ago it was big news that Verizon and Sprint could send pictures to each other) and phones and imagine how simple that is compared to live streaming video. share your views at http://www.iPhone3GS.org it's just for the iPhone 3G s.
