IPhone Flaw Lets Hackers Take Over, Security Firm Says - New York Times
A team of computer security consultants say they have found a flaw in Apple’s wildly popular iPhone that allows them to take control of the device.

The researchers, working for Independent Security Evaluators, a company that tests its clients’ computer security by hacking it, said that they could take control of iPhones through a WiFi connection or by tricking users into going to a Web site that contains malicious code. The hack, the first reported, allowed them to tap the wealth of personal information the phones contain.

When the iPhone becomes available in June, you’ll be able to buy ringtones through iTunes. I came to that conclusion when I read this :

What will be missing from Apple’s iPhone — in spite of its cooperation with Cingular — is Media Net, Cingular’s wireless portal, where phone users can browse the Web and buy ringtones and games. Mr. Siegel declined to comment on what kind of features will eventually be available on the iPhone.

… And the sheep will actually pay for them. $.99 rigtones has GOT to be the biggest scam in the world. You pay the SAME price you would for a full length song but only get 20 sec. Anyway, your gonna pay 5 or 6 hundred dollars to Apple for phone, don’t give them any more. The article linked uses Audacity but if you have an iPhone, you probably have a Mac, which means you probably have iLife, which means you probably have GarageBand, which probably a MUCH better choice for editing audio files.

1. Probably one of the worst kept secretes, and that was by design, the new iPhone, announced at Macworld today.
2. Jobs also unveils it AppleTV. Basically this is a device that allows you to stream iTunes movies and TV shows to your TV.
3. Real, apparently tired of being punked by Microsoft, is now taking the lead in the PlayForSure relationship, and announcing a deal with Tivo. You will soon be able to stream Rhapsody content to your Tivo.
