Meet the iPhone hackers
The coding geniuses who are taking apart Apple's hot device say they're within a few days of making it work with cell networks beyond AT&T.

  • Legal

    I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you can legally destroy your iPhone. You might get into trouble though if you modify it and then transmit with it, copy or sell the intellectual property you find there or claim that the modified device is still an "iPhone."

  • iPhone intruder

    My honeymoon with iphone was interrupted last weekend when I began receiving an intrusive text message on a string with someone I know directing me to a mulitmedia message at an online ATT web site. While the intrusive text appears to be from the person I am texting, it is not. I waited until I got home and accessed the site from my home computer. The site displayed a From: phone number (one I am familiar with) a TO: phone number (mine) and a photo of people I did not recognize. Yesterday I called ATT for a solution to this annoying problem and was told the only way to make it stop is to terminate the text feature on my iphone account. This morning I read the article bye John Schwartz "iPhone Flaw Lets Hackers take over, Security Firm Says" Ouch!
