Because you can never have enough iPhone news… three more stories
Filed under: iPhone
While most of us at TUAW (in the US, anyway) are staring out the window, running down the clock to hit the lake or ocean or pavement in some manner, the intrepid bloggers of Engadget never take a vacation. Here are three* iPhone stories they posted today:
Apple patent applications offer glimpses of haptic screens, RFID readers, fingerprint ID
Oh man, haptics on the iPhone would be so sweet, and finally give us a little more than annoying clicks when typing. RFID and fingerprints? Well, that I’m not so keen on.
Apple patching nasty iPhone SMS vulnerability
Good ol’ security maven Charlie Miller poked into the soft underbelly of the iPhone and discovered a pretty gnarly SMS hack that could potentially have your phone activating GPS, the phone’s mic, and other nastiness. Perfect setup for a Tom Clancy novel or totally scary vulnerability? Read the HotHardware piece and see for yourself.
iPhone facing potential trademark issues in China?
Yeah, who’d have thunk there would be a trademark dispute over the name iPhone in China, right? Funny thing is, Apple has a trademark on iPhone in China… just not on mobile phones. Oops.
[Thanks to the tipsters who sent these in a while ago, there's fresh beer in the fridge in the garage!]
*OK, four stories. MG Siegler over at TechCrunch has a linkalicious report on Facebook’s upcoming new iPhone app featuring… video uploads! (gasp, applause, nausea, use as directed)
