Putting aside the earlier reports that China Unicom is not enough stock to supply all four iPhone customers, it seems that Apple had rebuilt quickly as China Unicom Chinese airline said it had sold 100,000 units in first 4 days.

Chinese iPhone 4 Demand Outstrips SupplyWithout Devices

Originally released in 2007, the iPhone has been a great success for Apple. In fact, in a few years, the iPhone has helped Apple become the world’s leading mobile phone manufacturers which is a rather surprising considering they are a new entrant.

In all versions of the iPhone, the latest version of the iPhone called 4 has worked in most of the problems before and after launch. As sure, the phone had fled before its release, according to an employee infamous Apple iPhone 4 have made a prototype on a bar stool somewhere in California.

After being sold to a legal battle Gizmodo all followed, which confirmed the authenticity of the product. After 4 release of the iPhone, however, came the terrible fiasco deathgrip. If you are not familiar with it and you have an iPhone 4, to hold the device firmly in your left hand and look in the reception bars disappear quickly.

Apple iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G Is Available Today

4 Aug

We hope those of you who’ve been waiting for the WiFi + 3G enabled iPad got the spot you wanted in line today! Eager early adopters started lining up this morning for new iPads with 3G enabled service through AT&T. Important note for iPhone users: The 3G iPads use the new smaller micro SIM which means you won’t be able to swap your SIM from your iPhone with existing service so be prepared to spend an additional $30 a month for 3G on your iPad. For those of you who’d rather armchair shop than wait in line the iPad can also be ordered online at the Apple Store.

Unlocking An Iphone Was Never So Easy

2 Aug

Jailbreaking your iPhone was never easy, but a new tool called JailbreakMe promises to change that. It lets you unlock an iOS 4.O device effortlessly. The free online-based tool, and instructions, come just days after jailbreaking your iPhone was declared legal  by the U.S. Copyright Office. Jailbreaking your iPhone lets you install various non Apple-vetted applications to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

The hack is accessible to anyone through JailbreakMe.com, via the Mobile Safari browser, and can be used with an iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G running iOS 4 and 4.0.1 (the signal bars update). Until now, jailbreaking your iPhone involved having the device connected to a computer, in a painstaking process that put off some of the more novice users. JailbreakMe makes hacking your iPhone much easier, as it’s a browser-based solution and requires no additional artifices.

Jailbreaking Through Its Paces

To test how simple jailbreaking using JailbreakMe is, I decided to use my second-generation iPod Touch and give it a go. Before you decide to follow this process with your iPhone or iPad, keep in mind that despite the legality of this action, Apple is still against it. The company reminded users last week that jailbreaking your iOS device voids your warranty, and you won’t get free repairs.

I pointed the iPod touch’s Mobile Safari browser to JailbreakMe.com, and started the process by sliding the button on the screen (which looks like the iOS lock screen). The hack started downloading, and after a couple of minutes, it began installing. A few more minutes later, the iPod touch was jailbroken and the Cydia Store app was installed. The whole process took less than minutes on a regular Wi-Fi connection.

Some Users Report Problems

Early reports on Twitter and on the Web say that some iPhone 4 owners who used JailbreakMe to hack their phones are having problems with FaceTime and multimedia messaging services (MMS). Comex, the creator of the service, said he is busy to fix these issues as soon as possible. Meanwhile, this site has a potential temporary fix.

The JailbreakMe site also had several issues this morning, as high demand on the servers has put a strain on the service. The Cydia Store (the store for jailbroken apps) also had several hiccups during my testing with the freshly-jailbroken iPod touch.

Taking Precautions

The jailbreaking process from JailbreakMe is not permanent. As long as you sync your iOS device with iTunes before you jailbreak it, you will be able to remove the hack by simply using the restore feature. If anything goes wrong, don’t hesitate to use it.

Android Apps Stealing Personal Info From Phones

31 Jul

Between one and four million users of Android phones have downloaded wallpaper apps that swipe personal data from the phone and transmit it to a Chinese-owned server, a mobile security firm said today.

According to San Francisco-based Lookout, a large number of free wallpaper apps in the Android Market scrape the phone number; the user-specific subscriber identifier, also know as the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity); the phone’s SIM card’s serial number; and the currently-entered voicemail number from the phone.

That information is then transmitted to a server that Internet records show is registered to a resident of Shenzhen, a city in China’s Guangdong province, just north of Hong Kong.

Over 80 wallpaper apps created by a pair of developers — “callmejack” and “IceskYsl@1sters!” — include code that accesses users’ personal data, said Kevin Mahaffey, chief technology officer and a co-founder of Lookout.

“All that is sent to a Chinese server in clear text,” said Mahaffey in an interview prior to Black Hat, where he and CEO John Hering presented findings of what the company called the “App Genome Project,” an attempt to analyze the code of some 300,000 applications available in the Android Market and Apple’s iPhone App Store.

In a Friday entry on Lookout’s blog , Mahaffrey published pieces of the data-scraping code found in the wallpaper apps, as well as an example of the HTML request made to the Chinese server by those programs.

Mahaffrey called the practice “suspicious” but stopped short of calling the wallpaper apps malware or malicious in intent.

“There’s no indication that anything malicious has happened,” Mahaffrey said before Black Hat. “The wallpaper apps immediately stood out, though, because they were sending the IMSI and phone number. But sometimes developers aren’t aware of what’s going on with third-party code that they’ve added to their apps from advertising or analytics SDKs.”

Android apps, including the wallpaper programs named by Lookout, require user approval before they’re allowed to procure data from the hardware.

On Friday, Mahaffrey cited estimates that put the number of downloads of callmejack’s wallpaper apps at between 1.05 million and 4.02 million.

A Google spokesman confirmed that the company is investigating Lookout’s allegations, but declined to answer questions about what actions Google might take against the app developers or whether it would pull the programs from the Market.

Unlike owners of Apple’s iPhone, people using Android-powered phones can obtain apps from sources other than the Market. Earlier this month, Google said that the Android Market boasts about 70,000 apps.

In a separate briefing at Black Hat, the Las Vegas security conference that ended Thursday, Lookout security researchers showed how hackers could hijack an Android phone by exploiting a known flaw in Linux , the foundation of Android.

Lookout’s researchers claimed that they were able to exploit the Linux bug on EVO 4G (Sprint), Droid X (Verizon), and Droid Incredible (Verizon) phones.

In other findings from Lookout’s App Genome Project, Mahaffrey claimed that 47% of free Android apps contained third-party code able to interact with and access sensitive information on the phone. Fewer than half as many free iPhone apps — just 23% by Lookout’s measurements — include similar code.

Typically, that third-party code is dropped into the app by developers when they add analytics and advertising features to their software.

“Oftentimes, the user doesn’t know that this kind of information is being sent to the cloud,” said Mahaffrey. “We’re just trying to make people aware of the capabilities of mobile apps in the wild.”
