Vulnerability in iPhone – Vulnerability In iPhone Mail Application

The iPhone’s Mail and Safari browser applications  could leave owners to a URL spoofing vulnerability, which may allow attackers to conduct phishing attacks against the phone’s users.

By creating a specially crafted URL, and sending it via an e-mail, an attacker can convince the user that the spoofed URL, shown in the mail application, is from a trusted domain, such as a bank, PayPal or a social network.

When the iPhone user clicks on the URL, the Safari browser will be opening the spoofed URL, but still be viewed by the victim as if it is from a trusted domain.

The iPhone user will then be open to phishing attacks as they will enter private information, such as passwords, because they believe they are on the real site and not a fake.

Security researcher Aviv Raff also says. In addition, a security design flaw means the iPhone’s Mail application is also spammable.

iPhone Mail and Safari on firmware 1.1.4 and 2.0 are affected by this vulnerability. Earlier versions may also be affected, said Aviv Raff.

At last iPhone 3G with an Awesome Price tag for $199 & Features

iPhone 3G

A revolutionary phone, a wide screen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again also iPhone 3G to be Available in More Than 70 Countries now.

Features in iPhone 3G

*Phone
* Mail
* Safari
* iPod
* SMS
* Maps with GPS
* iTunes
* App Store
* Calendar
* YouTube
* Photos + Camera
* Stocks, Weather, Notes
* Calculator

Built into iPhone are two small but intelligent sensors that pick up cues from the environment and adjust the screen accordingly. These sensors both work to maximize the battery life and improve your iPhone experience.
[ad#add-top-in]
The ambient light sensor in iPhone automatically brightens the display when you’re in sunlight or a bright room and dims it in darker places.

When you lift iPhone to your ear, the proximity sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches.

iPhone responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer. When you rotate iPhone from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer detects the movement and changes the display accordingly. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.

The 3G iPhone will sell for US$199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. That’s a $200 discount from the previous $399 and $499 prices for the 8GB and 16GB iPhones, respectively.

Introducing New Ubuntu Mobile

Ubuntu

Ubuntu Linux users already know that their favorite operating system will make the jump from computers to mobile devices, but new details have begun to emerge recently. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, formally added Ubuntu Mobile to its product page and more fully described its capabilities.

To accommodate for touch screens, Canonical retooled the Ubuntu interface to work with taps and gestures. One press on a button launches an application or menu, while swiping a finger on a Web page pans it, and swiping a video, photo, song or thumbnail page acts as “forward” button.

Ubuntu Mobile, a fully open source project, gives full Internet, with no compromise. Custom options may include licensed codecs and popular third-party applications.

* Full Web 2.0/AJAX fidelity, with custom options of Adobe Flash, Java, and more
* Outstanding media playback so you can enjoy videos, music and photos with superior quality and easy navigation
* A suite of applications that work seamlessly to meet every need of a digital parent, student or anyone who is on-the-go
* Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Dailymotion, 3D games, GPS, maps, in short, the full Web 2.0 experience delivered into your hands as a compact and powerful device that’s easy and fun to use

The product of Canonical collaboration with Intel and the open source community, Ubuntu Mobile is the software that makes it all possible.
[ad#add-top-in]
System requirements for Ubuntu mobile include an Intel Silverthorne processor, 256MB of RAM,and 2GB or more of flash or hard drive space. Although it will eventually see a public release in 2008, right now Canonical is courting manufacturers with pre-release versions of the system for upcoming mobile devices.
