The only thing missing from the iPhone is Adobe’s Flash Player. Since Apple has taken so long to approve Flash on the iPhone, a clever programmer by the name of Tobias Schneider has managed to get the iPhone to run interactive apps created using Adobe’s Flash platform. This way of running said apps aren’t subject to Apple’s strict rules of the AppStore because it runs under the built-in web browser: Safari. It’s called Gordon, and the software doesn’t allow Adobe’s Flash itself to work on the iPhone. Gordon is a JavaScript runtime that allows the browser to run and display .swf (Shockware Flash) files. You go to a website, the JavaScript code loads and does its thing — you’re now flash-enabled. You may be asking yourself, does this mean my iPhone supports Adobe’s Flash? Well, no — it doesn’t. You cannot just go to any flash-based website and expect it to work. The website has to have Gordon installed. The webmaster would have to add this runtime to every instance of Flash, which is only a few lines of code. While the project is open source and available to the public, it doesn’t solve one of the biggest problems with Flash — Flash hogs the CPU like a fat kid does cookies! However, this clever Javascript hack potentially opens the door to a new class of interactive, animated mobile websites. While many web developers rely on Flash to accomplish things that can’t easily be done in HTML; those Flash apps won’t run on the iPhone. If you want to see Gordon in action head over to Paul Irish’s demos by clicking here — prepare yourself to be amazed. The demos work on both MobileSafari or on any desktop web browser. The animations seem to run very smoothly on the iPhone 3G running iPhone OS 3.1.2. - source:

Despite the incredible realism of the drawing above to the left, we’re probably not looking at iPhone OS 4.0 right here. Instead we’ve got Apple doing what Apple does: applying for a patent for some pretty vague functionality that may or may not end up in a device someday. No harm in that game, but it looks like Google’s already done the “put a contact on the home screen with their picture” thing before Apple got a chance, as demonstrated on the right. There are other little tidbits to Apple’s approach, however. Apple is naturally showing that little numeric badge we know so well, to show what sort of new activity the contact has (hopefully that pulls calls, SMS and email into one pretty little package, like we’ve seen on other modern operating systems), but Apple also mentions that “an icon associated with an entity can be temporarily displayed on the mobile device based on the proximity of the mobile device to the entity.” So, Stalking 2.0. We like it, and hope to see it in some future iPhone software, but between the crazy broad claims in the rest of the patent and Android’s prior art, we’d say Apple’s chances of getting this 2008 submission approved are pretty slim.

What’s great is one, it’s free, and two, it’s a really nice app. Here’s some of the features:

Recently, AT&T has hinted at charging high bandwidth users more for their data usage. Apparently, people are a little unhappy about it and are going to attempt to bring AT&T “to it’s knees”. How? A website called “The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs” has asked it’s readers to join them by using as much data over the cellular network as possible on Friday, December 18th at noon Pacific.
Subject: Operation Chokehold
On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app for one solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. The idea is we’ll create a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!
If you’d like to get involved, here’s some tips. Obviously, turn off your Wifi; the point here is to bog down the cellular network so you’ll want to avoid connecting to a local wireless network. Also, you’ll want to use a high bandwidth app like YouTube or other video website. Make sure you check out the comments on the blog linked to above, there are some great ideas on using up bandwidth like NASA’s live video stream or Ustream’s new uploader.
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.

With what must have been startling rapidity what started out as a proof of concept exploit of jailbroken iphones has turned into a security nightmare for iPhone owners, with the worm, called iPhone/Privacy.A having the ability to allow hackers to connect to any jailbroken iPhone, act silently and retrieve e-mail messages, SMS messages, calendar appointments, contacts, photos, music files, videos, along with any other data recorded by by iPhone apps.
An estimated 3.2 million iPhones are vulnerable to this exploit, and while mitigating steps, such as changing the root password, is available, this is said to break many applications designed for jailbroken iPhones which are written to take advantage of a hardcoded password. As a mitigating step it also of course leaves those iPhones vulnerable to dictionary attacks commonly used to attack machines on the internet.
Jailbraking iPhones is relatively common, as it is the only way to access needed functionality like multi-tasking and desirable features such as customizing the user interface.
At present there are no antivirus applications for the iPhone.
