We’ve previously covered the leaked photo sharing app that Facebook is working on. But this potential leak is of much, much greater consequence! The world’s most popular social networking site is said to be working on a mobile platform to “take on” Apple’s iOS.
With the release of Apple's iOS 5 beta last week the jailbreak community set about writing 3rd-party widgets to replace the bundled Stock and Weather examples.

Daniel Amitay has developed an iPhone security App known as Big Brother Camera Security, which relies on the simple concept of capturing a picture of anyone who enters the wrong passcode when unlocking the device.
