Security flaw in iPhone

Yep, I picked up on it over at Gizmodo ....one of my watering holes along the way. wink.gif

I figured that I had already worked the iPhone over pretty good and didn't want to beat on it anymore.  Devilish2.gif

Security flaw in iPhone
« Reply #2 on: August 29, 2008, 09:59:07 AM »
Simple fix for the time being:

1. Set a passcode number.
2. Set a double-click of the Home button to take you to the Home screen.
(Settings -> General -> Home Button (scroll down to see that) and select "Home")


If the iPhone is locked (happens whenever you turn it off or don't use it for your specified time). All the 'new' user can do is get to either[/]the Emergency Call button/screen OR the Unlock Screen. salute.gif
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system
