SwampFightOner Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hmmm... the guy at the Sprint store lied to me then. Or he just didn't know. I'd imagine the company you wanna switch from might lie about it to keep you from making the move. And I like my HTC Touch Pro 2. Already does way more shit than I would ever need it to, nevermind an iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 i jussssssssssst bought an iphone a few hours ago. what apps should i download? For me the most useful free ones are: Yelp, Skype, NY Times, Pandora, Shazam, I also use a few apps for maps that don't need internet access to work and have bus/subway routes. The only reason is the lack of signal in the subway for the no internet map apps. though. Beejive is pretty bad ass if you have multiple chat clients but it's not free.

hvak19 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 http://www.thespec.com/article/808096 Forensics can unravel screenshots of day-to-day activities from minicomputer device July 15, 2010 Amber Hunt McClatchy-Tribune news service DETROIT (Jul 15, 2010) Two years ago, as iPhone sales skyrocketed, former hacker Jonathan Zdziarski decided law-enforcement agencies might need help retrieving data from the devices. So he set out to write a 15-page, how-to manual that turned into a 144-page book (iPhone Forensics). That, in turn, led to Zdziarski being tapped by law-enforcement agencies across the U.S. to teach them just how much information is stored in iPhones -- and how that data can be gathered for evidence in criminal cases. "These devices are people's companions today," said Zdziarski, 34, who lives in Maine. "They're not mobile phones anymore. They organize people's lives, and if you're doing something criminal, something about it is probably going to go through that phone." It's an area of forensic science that's just beginning to explode, law-enforcement and cellphone experts said. Zdziarski said the focus of forensics recovery has been on the iPhone over other smart phones in large part because of its popularity. An estimated 1.7 million people rushed to buy the latest iPhone version released last month. Before that, Apple had sold more than 50 million iPhones, according to company figures. Although some high-stakes criminal cases have used cellphone towers to estimate a suspect or victim's whereabouts, few have laid out the information that iPhones have to offer. For example: * Every time an iPhone user closes out of the built-in mapping application, the phone snaps a screenshot and stores it. Savvy law-enforcement agents armed with search warrants could use those snapshots to see if a suspect is lying about whereabouts during a crime. * iPhone photos are embedded with geo-tags and identifying information, meaning that photos posted online might not only include GPS co-ordinates of where the picture was taken, but also the serial number of the phone that took it. * Even more information is stored by the applications themselves, including the user's browser history. That data is meant in part to direct custom-tailored advertisements to the user, but experts said that some of it could prove useful to police. Clearing out user histories isn't enough to clean the device of that data, said John B. Minor, a communications expert and member of the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners who has written articles for law enforcement about iPhone evidence. "With the iPhone, even if it's in the deleted bin, it may still be in the database," Minor said. "Much is contained deep within the phone." Some of that usable data is in screenshots. Just as users can take and store a picture of their iPhone's screen, the phone itself automatically shoots and stores hundreds of such images as people close out one application to use another. Most iPhone users agree to let the device locate them so they can use fully the phone's mapping functions, as well as various global positioning system (GPS) applications. The free application Urbanspoon is primarily designed to help users locate nearby restaurants. Yet the data stored there might not only help police pinpoint where a victim was shortly before dying, but it also might lead to the restaurant that served the victim's last meal. "Most people enable the location services because they want the benefits of the applications," Minor said. "What they don't know is that it's recording your GPS co-ordinates." Apple did not return phone calls or an e-mail seeking comment for this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50million Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 can you get a mobile me application for free anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Sprint is on a CDMA system, and iPhones only work on the GSM system. So the Sprint guy was telling you the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
