All the talk about Apple not keeping the iPhone platform as secure as it should be has left some wondering about the safety of their data. Now that the App Store has been launched and the majority of the devices can now install applications easier than ever, it raises even more security questions. To provide an answer, Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, has announced the release of VirusBarrier X5 10.5.3, which adds the ability to scan a connected iPod or iPhone for malware.

If you would like to be notified of AppStore releases and updates you can use a RSS Feed provided by Pinch Media.
We’re happy to announce today the release of a few new RSS feeds which provide a way to view activity in the Apple App Store without having to load up iTunes or the App Store on the iPhone yourself. The first two feeds are the most recent stream of new and updated applications added into the App Store updated hourly.
Our next two feeds are updated nightly and show the top 100 list of free and paid applications and also their ranking as of when we updated the list the previous day. Like the previous two feeds, clicking the links inside the feeds will take you directly into the App Store.Read More

The backup/synch process for iPhones takes a really long time and may turn out to be worthless for restoring a bricked device, according to emerging reports.
Blogger Erica Sadun wrote the other day about her frustrations with Apple’s synch and backup protocols in the iPhone 2.0 firmware and wondered why on earth she has to wait for entire applications to backup every time she synchs her phone with iTunes, instead of having iTunes backup only changed Document and Library data.
Writer Rob Griffiths also complains, “I can connect my phone, let it run a full backup and sync, disconnect it, let it sit on the desk for three minutes, then connect it again…and get hit with another hour-long backup cycle.”
And what’s worst is the local backup may be useless for restoring an iPhone to its as-configured state after crashing due to application instability or glitches in the 2.0 firmware. If this is a real problem, Apple’s millions of iPhone customers juggling their tens of millions of AppStore downloads will be letting us know quite soon, but as Griffiths writes, “the current implementation of backup in iPhone 2.0 seems very broken.”

The iPhone was previous not able to play .wav voicemail files fom home phone services such as Vonage and AT&T. Since the iPhone 3G has been released, along-side the iPhone 2.0 OS, .wav voicemail files are now playable on the iPhone and iPhone 3G’s.
There was in fact someone by the name of TJ Luoma working on fixing this issue before the iPhone 2.0 OS was released - and he was supposedly 95% done the project - when the iPhone 2.0 OS was released, and had already given full support for .wav voicemail files.

And for those of you who’ve noticed I haven’t been around as much lately, it’s because I recently got a new job, and have been fairly busy with that and other rounds. I’ll try my best to make time for postings more often. Eric has been doing a fantastic job keeping you all up to date with the latest news, and I’m thankful for that. Take care, fellow readers!
