Apple released improved versions of the popular iPhone and iPod touch with doubled memory to allow its future owners store more music, images and videos on their mobile companion.



Now the iPhone has 16GB memory and retails at $500, with $100 more than the iPhone 8GB model, while the iPod touch has 32GB and has the same starting price as the new iPhone.

Also, both mobile devices come with the new software which adds the capability to use the Maps applications for finding your location automatically, the Web Clips application, customizable screen for watching movies from iTunes Movie Rentals, and the Safari mobile browser with lots of useful applications such as Mail, Stocks, Maps, Notes and Weather.

According to Arbor’s Security and Engineering Response Team, the iPhone will become the primary target for hackers next year because of its important vulnerabilities.

Sounds scary, but these guys know what they’re talking about when insisting on the idea that the iPhone will be the victim of a serious attack next year, in the form of drive by attacks, meaning malware software embedded into seemingly harmless information such as pictures rendered on the web browser.

Another prediction coming from ASERT is a Chinese on Chinese cyber attack involving software like QQ Messenger to steal users personal data.



“2007 was the year of the browser exploit, the data breach, spyware and the storm worm. We expect 2008 to be the year of the iPhone attack, the Chinese Hacker, P2P network spammers and the hijacking of the Storm botnet,” declared Jose Nazario, senior security engineer at Arbor Networks. “Online fraud is soaring and security attacks are now being used in countless and ever more sophisticated ways to both steal and launder money. Financial and other confidential data is being obtained, sold and utilised in the highly developed black market. In 2008 this market will continue to grow and it is important that business implement the processes and technology necessary to protect themselves and their customers.”

Otter Products is thinking also at your iPhone and recently the company has released another high-quality product, this time for the famous Apple device.
We are talking about the iPhone Defender series consisting of several slim cases that are ultra-resistant and designed to protect your iPhone against strong shocks and not only.

According to the company, with such a case model your iPhone is protected against shocks and scratches because it is made from a high-impact polycarbonate shell enclosed in a silicone skin, while the polycarbonate membrane is in charge with keeping the touchscreen safe from water and dust fibers.



The Donaldson Acoustic Vents are there to protect the speaker and mike openings, keeping the sounds clear, and the silicone plug and proximity sensor is protecting the access to jacks.

The OtterBox iPhone Defender models are available here at a price of $49.95.

Goldstriker International is a firm specialized in precious metal plating that has been changing the look of so many famous devices such as Nokia, LG and Motorola. Now it is the iPhone’s turn to get platinum.

The Apple iPhone Platinum Edition has only 250 phones that will be available in January 2008 at a price of $2230.

You can order a Platinum iPhone from the Goldstriker International official website here.

“Good news from T-Mobile!” or better said “Good news for T-Mobile!” because the German court has granted the telecommunications company the exclusiveness to sell the iPhone in this country.
So get ready to say “bye bye!” to the unlocked and expensive devices!

Apple is finally happy that its strategy of selling the iPhone through only one operator in each country has succeeded.
Vodafone has won for a short period of time by obtaining a restriction order for the rival company that was obligated to stop selling locked iPhones.

Klaus Czerwinski, a spokesperson from T-Mobile was happy to declare:
"We are just happy that our opinion is confirmed that this is legal. We still think it is best for the customer."
"From the outset, the intention was ensure clarity on the commercial position in the German marketplace. Vodafone does not believe that the pricing model is in the best interests of the German consumer," added Czerwinski.
