I'm working on an enterprise iPhone application for a client, the issue at hand is customer information will show up on the phone. My client is worried that the information could be caught using the iphone screen capture feature (home + power button), then emailed or synced from the phone. Is there any way to disable the screen capture feature? Can this be done programatically or is is possible through a configuration profile?

if your customer could retain the ownership of a handset, they can restrict Screen Capture feature using iPhone Configuration Utility. Make sure you don't give these phones to any one outside of this organization, otherwise you are in violation of your Enterprise legal agreement with Apple.
