Are there any other sites that confirm this? (BBC, Sky?), never heard of 'Forbes' before...any chance it could be a hoax?

And people wonder why I avoid Apple's 'i' products like the plague 
apple will still manage to cover it up if it happends, they always manage to keep it out of the media. unlike MS who get shot down for anything.
Of course Linux based devices are better...
...oh wait - better type the word reboot into an unpatched Android device after it was found to execute everything you typed into a text message
Don't even get me started on Windows security!
No system is bomb proof.

You iPhone haters are all ghey....
With all the bling, hype and so called designer 'fashion' of the i(diot)Phone that's somewhat of a contradiction! :devil:
I wonder why if the piephone is so good then why does Apple have to keep advertising it all the time?
So's your face
@1986Uno45S - I don't follow the apple hype..and to be honest, as a business. I can't stand Apple. I just found it to be a very simple device to use and I haven't come across a touch screen I liked more.
I just find alot of the iPhone haters are people who have never spent an extended time using one, and have just "had a quick go on a mates" or "played with one in a shop". The texting takes a little bit to get used to, but to be honest. I have had mine since November, and have had no problems whatsoever with mine. None of the lockups/sluggishness that has been talked about. It never seems to drop calls, email works perfectly. Bluetooth works fine with my car kit. Internet is easy to use. Tbh...for what I want it performs perfectly fine.
My best mate has one and I often go on it, aswell as a few other mates that I have spent a lot of time on.

I think it's nicely designed as in externally. very solid.
I just find it a bit whimmy
And their marketing proper frustrates me
I mean, they have just released the S with all the features that should have been on the very first model. 3mp? wtf!
This is what gripes me with apple. The holding back on features + treating the consumers as mugs.
I agree with you about holding the features back
However about the mug part, it's mostly because the users who fall for apples marketing schemes often are mugs!

Funniest thing is AT&T blocking the data modem feature to sell more USB Data modems LOL.
Apple has release a fix (3.0.1) and it is available from iTunes now.
Apparently the same logic applies to hijacking Windows Mobile and Android. No details of patches for those OSes yet...
On closer inspection of the hack (getting behind the alarmist newspaper headlines) it is in fact very unlikely to work in the wild. For a start it would involve network operators allowing malformed messages to go through their networks and even if that happened it would have hundreds of messages for a piece of malicious code to be sent and compiled by a device. Chances are the user would have switched off the device by then.
Still credit to Apple for accepting the issue and getting a fix out.
