iPhone at risk from security flaw

August 4th, 2010 Ashesh No comments

Security firms are warning of a vulnerability in Apple’s iOS for iPhone, iPad and iPod.

Symantec said that it could be exploited by remote attackers to take
complete control of a vulnerable device .

Experts said that the threat, at present, only exists on paper but that Apple need to issue a fix before it becomes a reality.

Apple said that the company was aware of the report and was investigating.

The problem lies in the way Apple’s Mobile Safari handles Adobe Acrobat PDF documents.

As the browser automatically opens PDF files, a hacker could embed malicious code into this file. Read more…

Steve Jobs’ letter explaining Apple’s Flash distaste

July 22nd, 2010 Ashesh No comments

Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers–Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products–but beyond that there are few joint interests.

I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven–they say we want to protect our App Store–but in reality it is based on technology issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true. Let me explain. Read more…

There are two main annoyances so far, one of these annoyances is that the optimizing images process takes a very long time when installing iOS4, the other problem is that performance on the iPhone 3G is said to be very poor.

How To: Disable 3G on the iPhone 3G For More Talk but Less Speed

June 3rd, 2010 Ashesh No comments

Apple rates the iPhone 3G’s talk time at 5 hours over the high-speed 3G network. While the call quality seems vastly improved due to more data being passed through the 3G pipe, some of the more chatty among us may find that 3G isn’t just fast — it’s non-user-replaceable-battery draining fast!

Don’t care as much about speed and clarity as you do sheer volume of talk time? Or what if you’re just in an area that’s not (yet?) covered by 3G? You’re in luck! Apple has provided a way to turn off the 3G — and blazing fast broadband-like HSPA speed that goes with it — and drop back down to 2.5/2.75G — and the dial-up-eque EDGE that is turtle to the 3G hare.

Boom! 10 hours of talk time! (And for those of you in countries with more restrictive/ridiculous data caps, a way to help pace yourself and starve your data-hungry iPhone).

Just remember: slow data transfer, not as good call quality, no simultaneous voice and data (you can’t talk and surf the web on EDGE at the same time).

Step-by-step instructions after the break!

iPhone 4G- features and concept

June 1st, 2010 Ashesh No comments

Some interesting things came about when Apple introduced their iPhone 4G with operating system 4.0. It was immediately hacked and it also immediately gave users a few nice updates that other smartphones owners were already enjoying. Here is the lowdown on the upcoming iPhone 4G update to the iPhone.

The Apple iPhone 4G (4.0) system was revealed to the world of developers, but not to the general public. It will have many of the things that Apple has in common with Nokia or Android units. The biggest thing that is coming to many of the iPhones is the ability to do multi-tasking. This means you will be able to do more than one thing on your iPhone. This will only be available on 3GS and newer models of the iPod touch. If you have been disappointed to hear news of multi-tasking abilities for the iPhone in times past, this event seems to be the real thing. To access this ability, double-tap the home button.

Typepad for iPhone is stunning

January 28th, 2010 Ashesh No comments

I’ve just had a sneak preview of the new TypePad native app for the iPhone. It’s simply stunning! I’m not talking about the current webbased version that can be found at http://i.typepad.com/, the new app is “native” which means it’s downloaded and stored on your iPhone.

It going to be made available free of charge via the new App Store that’s available on the iPhone 2.0 software due for release on July 11th 2008.

key features of the native app are speed and ease of use with an intuitive layout that’s clearly been designed by TypePad users that own an iPhone, not just a borrowed iPhone, but one that use have been using day in and day out for some time before they start work on the app.
