A fault that blemishes the iPhone

A fault was discovered in firmware 2.0.2 of the iPhone. In order to make the device secure and to avoid the imports that could reach the data, Apple proposes to lock it with a code that blocks the iPhone, only allowing emergency calls (this code is different from protection by PIN code of the SIM). However one finds that on the latest firmware, Apple forgot to deactivate the home key of the locked apparatus. It is thus possible, without entering the password, by pressing twice on this key to jump to the address book. While waiting for the arrival of firmware 2.0.3 that will correct this fault, it is enough to modify the destination of this short cut in the preferences, by allocating, for example, the function iPod to it. Apple have certainly done well with such a blunder at this time when the adversaries of its telephone make huge fires from any fault. [translation by crispin]
