WEEK 3 THING 7

I have been really curious about the new Apple i-phones and have been reading about them. It sounds good to be able to have your phone, ipod and internet access all in one device, however, it is a little too large for my taste. Also, I read an article in the paper today that some security experts detected a flaw in the security of the device that would other people to hack into it and have access to your personal data. "The first attack scenario is a straightforward one in which the attacker sends an Apple iPhone user an email containing a link to a malicious Web site. Once the user clicks on the link, the attacker's Web server exploits a flaw in the Safari browser that runs on the phone and takes control of the device. At that point, it's pretty much game over." The researchers sent the information off to Apple along with a way to fix it. Pretty scary stuff.
I think I will stick with my Razor phone and seperate iPod!
