The nation’s cellphone networks could suffer “potentially catastrophic” cyberattacks by iPhone-wielding hackers at home and abroad if iPhone owners are permitted to legally jailbreak their shiny wireless devices — that’s what Apple claims.
Mr Farber, For IP, if you wish.If a mobile phone is able to crash a tower, then surely we should be concerned about the quality of code running on the tower!
An iPhone is not the only way to access a tower either - last I checked there were a number of branded phones and radio devices that could be used.
I must also agree with other posters that my next phone will be a Pre or an Android phone. Apples hardware is great, but their control regime reminds me of an arrogant spoilt supermodel.
