iPhone problems...

[stevegrant]

Not only have Apple been given a bollocking by the Advertising Standards Authority for their recent TV advert which claims "all the parts of the internet are available on the iPhone" when Apple have disabled the display of Flash or Java-based content, but it's also been revealed that there is a security flaw which will affect anyone who password-protects their iPhone.

If you have the 'double tap of Home Button' default to launch the iPod or return to the Home Screen it isn't affected anyway.

 

A) not everyone password locks their phone when in use; heck, my Sony Ericsson did not allow this option even if I would've wanted it to.

 

B) bringing up your iPhone's favourite contacts is a maximum of two taps on the screen anyway (it's only ONE if the favourites page was the last tab displayed when last using the phone application) so it's just as easy to do that anyway!!

 

C) this isn't a remote hack or virus or malware issue It really isn't a big deal: If someone has your phone in their hands then you've been careless with it anyway, stupid.

But the point is that the default setting is such that password protection is useless. Obviously if you change the setting from the default you can stop the problem but its not exactly brilliant is it from a company that is trying to punt its phones to businesses (as you keep bigging up) where you are expected to have this sort of protection turned on.

 

Maybe while you are doing PR for all things apple maybe you could explain why Jobs disowned his own sister for admitting he goes to the toilet.

To be fair, this is one thing that Apple has got right. The majority of Java applets that sit on websites are poorly written with no "garbage collection" and as such end up consuming astronomical amounts of memory.

 

Oh, and "most websites" don't use Java. They might use JavaScript, but that's an ENTIRELY different kettle of fish

I do. I have a N95 8GB so I'm ok.
