Expert sees security issues with the iPad

Apple's new iPad device looks like it will have some of the same security
issues that affect the iPhone, such as weak encryption, a mobile security expert
said on Thursday.

For one, if the iPad employs encryption the same way the iPhone does,
sensitive personal data, including phone numbers and e-mail addresses, could be
retrieved and viewed, says Daniel Hoffman, chief technology officer at SMobile
Systems, which sells mobile security software.
