A new video circulating outlines a major security flaw in the Apple iPhone 3G. It is a deceptively simple flaw which seems slightly outrageous that Apple would have missed it.

By using the Emergency Call function you can access your Favorites list and full private contact information and then from there even access Safari for web browsing.

This has been alarming for many iPhone users and rightly so. Apple claims to be remedying this issue with the next firmware update, but there is not date on that release. Hopefully they’ll be quick to resolve the issue as this makes major security breaches a huge risk for all viewers.

For a preliminary measure you can take the following steps to prevent this breach from happening:

1. In the iPhone home, go to Settings.
2. Click on General.
3. Click on Home Button.
4. Click on either “Home” or “iPod”.

This takes away the quick access to your favorites page, but also stops anyone from getting access to contact information and full use of your phone.

The continuing buzz about the first Android handset, the previously reported about HTC Dream, is starting to grow into an earthquake. The info hungry internet is getting as many details as possible and the news about the first Android handset is slowing making its way to the masses.

Recently details about what the HTC Dream - now being called the T1 by T-Mobile - isn’t going to be featuring have come to light. Similar to the Apple iPhone 3G the Dream is not going to have full Bluetooth stack and data messaging and also Google Talk will not be present. Now before all of us feature gluttons get all complainy about the lack of this feature we have to consider that the developers are making a sound decision in this case. The Google Talk’s security measures are not anywhere near where they need to be to take the role of being a mainstay IM service.

Some other exciting spec news is the 528MHz Qualcomm 7201 CPU which should have no trouble handling the Android platform and also the weird and strangely alluring banana shape which will either be a make or break design quality for some.

So are we still laughing at Android for taking their time to get out their platform or are they just taking the right steps to make sure they’re not rushing out a dud? How is this going to affect the Google stock monster? Wait and see I guess.
