Apple iPhone looks real great to have but what does it take to secure it's use. Well just in case you are intending to purchase it yet or wondering on it's safety usages, same to the people who have been asking this question in this blog, about the security features for the iPhone technology.

From referring to this link of a news:

It really shows that Apple iPhone have been focusing into this matter quite seriously on it's security. Like any other devices which the company will do every it can to produce quality and safety of the device to the market. A security expert at IBM's Internet Security Systems, Neel Metha, which typically focuses on perimeter security for large corporations.

Overall, He thinks that the Apple iPhone will be very much successful or in other word 'better' in providing security like no other smartphone on the market can. Addition to that the lack of having the SDK (software developer kit) from Apple will help make the iPhone to be harder to tap into certain hackers or criminals on the net especially those that are inexperience in doing so. However more sophisticated criminal who's attracted to the challenge of hacking a complex system might test their skills.

"The iPhone is likely to be one of the most complex smart phones that we've seen to date. As such, it will be challenging to have to a completely secure code base. "

Questions on the treat that the iPhone might face is also mentioned. And the iPhone platform itself and all the applications that run on it is a treat to handle with. The OS X in the iPhone might just have security features like the Mac and it is also possible to be exploited in the processor. Well it shows that the iPhone is able to manage it security system averagely and it's worth the quality of the device perhaps, still the price is still looks expensive.

iPhone Usability Review Roundup

Just a few days more to go ... what is it? the launch of Apple iPhone in a few days (around 2 days more) for your information. OK now, before starting this i also want the visitors to this blog to know that there is translation link (more like a shortcut to do translations) in the sidebar (<<) just in case~, so anyone can just play around with it or spam it if anyone wants to.


Apple's first cell phone received mostly positive reviews from The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times Tuesday afternoon, although both pointed out several flaws with the device.


Very much of the technology of the iPhone have been released over the month since it first being introduced and results will come soon when launch. And from is being review about the iPhone shows a bit more clearer capabilities it has. Apple have somehow given to some lucky journalist that is David Pogue, Walt Mossberg and USA Today's Edward C. Baig are doing the first honors to have the iPhone. And what they say is, they all agree that the phone is being one of the sexiest phone ever hit the market.

The iPhone is being reviewed, so watch the video of Walt Mossberg reviews on the iPhone, showing some of the iPhone insides. Below.




From the video it shows that iPhone really is not a perfect device because there are really some flaws such as the call quality is just average ("OK") and and AT&T's weak sauce signal wasn't doing the iPhone any favors.


The display keyboard in the iPhone it may look kind of difficult but it show that it needs practice to manage it, Walt needed 5 days, something similar to some phone users before when using normal keys as input, well who know people just need to experience it and see how it goes.

The WiFi for the iPhone isn't much of the problem its something common for user to use it however the EDGE feature might not be showing good result as it's connectivity can run slow especially for traveling in distances.


But don't get disappointing yet there are still more than that, it still have much stylist usability in it as it is able to give new approach to handle the phone like the battery life in not an issue and it level of being more than other smart phones is still good. The touch screen works well at least and the iPhone's interface is not bad at all still able to give some quality and user friendly features. The finger-driven scrolling interface worked very well on the large touch screen. The Safari browser also works well with the iPhone with zooming capabilities by tapping it. And inputs made to manage the phone is very slick and simple to use interactions when sending mails, selecting and other activities done on the iPhone, similar to a computer as well.


Anyway the iPhone is still a new technology and how often is it for a product or technology to be so perfect when completed in a way? Apple and the iPhone may still have it's chances in future improves.~ So who thinks it still worth it or not?

iPhone having YouTube Player On Board

Here is something interesting especially to those usually visit the well known and wildly popular YouTube. Apple iPhone have planned and implemented a new feature to it, again it's not GPS but a special YouTube player that will allow users to access and launch directly to main site. iPhone owners can now load, stream, and browse videos from the video-sharing site as well as e-mail them to their friends like what can be done on the computer.

The built in application will be encoded in H.264 by YouTube which will also improve the video quality and the battery life on mobile devices. Videos can be view over WiFi and EDGE but it may seem unstable because the loading time could be unexpected, slowness? Hope not. However it quite interesting once you think the capability of Apple iPhone's Technology to support so much, and this may actually reinvent mobile devices in future too.
