Big Brother In Your iPhone3G

Apple’s iPhone has just been released last month worldwide and here in the Philippines, it’s going to be launched this Aug. 22, 2008. I’ve been reading about the apps that you can use in iPhone and something caught my attention regarding Apple’s ability to spy on your iPhone and if it doesn’t like what it sees, zzzzaaapppp!!! The app you’re using is dead.

Sounds like Big Brother to me. If you’ve seen an old movie “Enemy of the State” featuring Will Smith or even “Prison Break”, you have to be concerned with what application(s) you’re running on your iPhone.

But what if not just Apple happened to get inside your iPhone but some nut-job who happen to know how to extract information from your phone? Not that it’s ok for me to let Apple spy on my iPhone in the first place. Your calls, text messages, mp3s, pictures and videos you took from a one night stand and whatever incriminating information you’ve got stored in there is now fair game.

Am I just being paranoid is there really cause to be concerned? Your privacy is now open to anyone, not just Apple. But do you really want Apple to know what app you’re using in your iPhone which btw you both paid for legally in the first place? I think there’s still a privacy issue to be dealt with here.

Well, since I can’t afford to get one right now, I’ll probably resign myself to just using my crappy Jurassic Nokia 3210 for now. It still sends text messages though, sometimes in hieroglyphics! The gift my sister gave me, a Nokia 1200 doesn’t want to send text messages anymore and when I try to call, it reboots to “enter PIN code:”. Aaaarrrggg!!!

First my pc, now my celphone, life’s a peach, really! Now, if only I can convince visitors to click on my adsense! Well, just a suggestion, I don’t want Google to indefinitely hold my adsense checks, you know what I mean.
