The iPhone Trojan
By admin | January 15, 2008
There is now a Trojan for the Mac OS X-based iPhone. Reports say that this Trojan is “mild”. Any iPhone that has been modified to install 3rd party app are at risk.
The iPhone Trojan is named “iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep.” and “113 prep”. It will look is if it is an essential system upgrade. When you install this Trojan onto your iPhone, it looks to do no more than displaying “shoes” on your iPhone screen.
But in reality, the Trojan overwrites applications such as “Erica’s utities” along with “Open SSH”. If you try to uninstall the Trojan, even these applications get deleted. The Trojan is not extremely high risk and does not cause a great deal of harm, it should not be seen lightly and serve as a warning to people opening iPhones through a security hole and installing unverified software. source ipodtouchin.com

Developer Ecamm has posted a sneak peak of iPhoneCam, the appturns your iPhone’s camera as a wireless Mac webcam. The only obvious draw back to this will be that you cant have the screen and camera facing you at the same time, so it will be a little less fun chatting with friends and fam. but may bring a new level to live bloging.

A tear-down posted by BusinessWeek showing that the 8gig iPod touch is costing Apple about $150 to build, and that includes $40 bucks for the multi-touch screen.
