iPhone Security Flaw Exposed

A flaw in the iPhone's software can allow anyone to bypass the password-locking feature of the phone and get access to the phone's Favorites menu. Once in the Favorites menu, other parts of the iPhone can be accessed, such as Mail, Safari and SMS. This flaw negates the password-lock feature and exposes user data to anyone with knowledge of the method used to get past the password lock. A temporary solution has been discovered. In the iPhone's Settings menu, click on "General", then click on "Home Button", then click on either "Home" or "iPod". Choosing one of these two options will prevent anyone from accessing the Favorites menu, and keep most user data safe.

Samsung i8510 announced, re-named INNOV8

Samsung has announced their i8510 handset, and renamed it the Samsung INNOV8 – that's not just slang terms for innovate, but the 8 has meaning too – as, what looks to be a successor to the G810, specs-wise at least, packs in a whopping eight megapixel camera lens – although, unlike the G810, optical zoom, and an Xenon Flash are not present. Still, optical zoom and cameraphones don't seem to mesh well, and it adds bulk to the handset. The Xenon Flash is replaced by a dual LED. It will hit Europe next month, for approximately €7500.
