Let's be honest: few people inside IBM are using EAP-TLS and a lot of companies outside IBM are using Leap. So we are not talking about a minor niche protocoll that is relevant for a few people. Nokia simply ignores the Leap protocoll since a number of years. Don't tell me Nokia knew years ago that Leap has security issues... How can you produce smartphones and not enable them with one of the most popular protocolls that company networks are using? The answer: ignorance - which is why the iPhone has ravaged: Apple seems to care about what users want to DO with their device (and Leap is just one example) while Nokia doesn't give damn. Why? Because they are the market leader so they don't have to listen to the customer - right? Ignorance is bliss. If they won't implement Leap with the next firmware update I'll sell my N900 and buy an iPhone. I am fed up with the N900 smartphone that can't connect to the WLAN at work. And I am also fed up with Nokia's arrogant attitude.
