If you have a jailbroken iPhone, with an unchanged SSH password, there is a high chance that your security can be compromised by any of the iPhone worms out there. The easiest thing one can do to secure his or her jailbroken iPhone is to change the default root password or by disabling SSH entirely. Apple’s spokesperson Natalie Harrison today offered following comments regarding all these recent iPhone worm attacks.
Multifl0w is an iPhone app which allows switching between applications running in background in a beautiful Palm Pre style cover flow-like mode. It will basically act as a graphical extension to the already popular app from Cydia called Backgrounder to present all opened apps in a tabbed view, similar to the view seen on Mobile Safari. The combination of Multifl0w and Backgrounder will be a treat to have for power users who wants to run multiple apps at the same time on the iPhone. For better comprehension, you may have a look at the screenshot attached below.
Apple’s latest mice sensation – the multi-touch capable Magic Mouse introduced iPhone-style touch capabilities in the world of mice for users running OS X. This amazing product of engineering which is a multi-touch descendant of the iPhone soon became the heartthrob of Mac users. Since Magic Mouse is officially supported to work on Macs only, PC users running Windows were left out in the dark since there is currently no multi-touch capable mouse available for PC market.
From last one month or so, jailbroken iPhone community has remained under constant threats from various types of worm attacks. First time that we warned you about was when a Dutch hacker tried to access jailbroken iPhones through SSH in his native country Netherlands. He offered remedy for 5 Euros. Another attempt was by Ikee, an Australian, who was successful in injecting a worm into jailbroken iPhone’s whose users had forgot to change their root password for SSH. This worm ikee, however, did not cause any harm to the victim’s iPhone, but it laid a foundation for another worm that could harm iPhone users indefinitely.
Want to sign your documents using your iPhone? Well, there is now an app for that! iPhone is a highly capable device that can help you prepare all your documents, fill all sorts of forms and electronically mail them via the Mail app. But it doesn't allow you to endorse your signatures on them. Finally, Zosh has come to the rescue by introducing its new app for iPhone. With Zosh, you can take all those email forms, fill them in, and sign them right from your iPhone and send it back using email.
In the pre-release test Roms of Windows Mobile 6.5 for HTC HD2, pinch-to-zoom functionality was available across all apps by which one could finger pinch any application on the screen and it would zoom in. In the final release, however, this useful feature was confined to only a few selective apps on the device that had small elements on screen. Thanks to this tiny application called Zooomer for the HTC HD2, we can now enable pinch-to-zoom multi-touch capability in any program on this Windows Phone. All apps may not really be able to take all the advantage from it but atleast it gives us the choice to select the apps in which we need this functionality.

It is astonishing to see how fast Microsoft fans circle is expanding. It’s now getting even more popular among the young lot. Will Smith, a Fifth grader and just 10 years old, has unbelievably not only upgraded all four of his family's computers to Windows 7, but has written and sung a beautiful song “Windows 7 is rising” , which is set to the tune of CCR's "Bad Moon Rising." This young kid has done all at his own initiative in his school’s talent show held this year. The video upload on YouTube is from one of his rehearsals.
International Business Times has made a nice comparison of HTC HD2 and iPhone 3GS by pitting the two in a head to head contest. To some extent, they have been successful in rightly proving that HTC HD2 is far superior to iPhone (in terms of hardware anyway). Different aspects of the two like: size, display, camera & video recording, connectivity and wireless connection, OS, processor, music and video, keyboard, storage and memory, power and battery, Price tags and browsing have been compared. The final verdict shows that HD2 wins in 8, where as iPhone in 1, and there are ties on 4 other aspects.
