A few days ago someone has discovered a new hack into the iPhone iOS 4.1 software which enables him to break into your iPhone to make phone calls even if your iPhone has been password locked. There is a special sequence that you will need to follow in order to do this.

All you have to do is as follows:-

1.  Grab a password protected iPhone running on the iOS 4.0 or iOS 4.1

2.  Slide to unlock

3.  Press the “emergency call” button

4.  Key in *** or ###

5.  Hit the call button and immediately press the power(on/off) button immediately after

Voila………. you have just broken into the iPhone.

iPhone Malaysia Bloggers have tested this on both the jailbroken and non-jailbroken iPhones running the iOS 4.1 and found that both can be broken into. We have also tested it out on the iOS 3.13 iPhone 3G and it was alright(meaning it cannot be broken into). On the iOS 3.13 iPhone 3G, the screen just goes blank.

Well this is the bad news………..  :-(

The good news is ……….    :-)

Apple has acknowledged this security flaw and will get it fixed in the iOS 4.2 which will be released in November 2010(not too far away). So, in the meantime, if you are using the iPhone running on the iOS 4.0 or iOS 4.1, please make sure that you do not lose your iPhone even if it is password locked. Some beta users of the iOS 4.2 Beta 3 users have reported that the problem is solved and they do not see the problem in the iOS 4.2 Beta 3 version of the software.

Below is a video on how this is done:-

Just found an iPhone video that has gone viral in Youtube attracting more than 2.7 million views since October 14 2010. Wow, that is an amazing number of views in less than 2 weeks?!? So, what is so great about this video that has made it gone viral in Youtube.

Let’s check it out……
It was created by a band called the “Atomic Tom”. In the video, they performed their song “Take Me Out” using only iPhones loaded with instruments Apps.  At the start of the video, they have claimed that they have lost their musical instruments and needed to improvise by using the iPhones as their musical instruments. They later confessed in an interview with ABC News that their musical instruments were not stolen and they actually have battery-powered amplifiers under their seats to boost up the sound from their iPhones.

Below is the video that has gone viral in Youtube:-

Well, a lot of people from Youtube commented that they are very talented……………  The iPhone Malaysia Bloggers think that they are not too bad but there are equally good ones from Malaysia like the Penang iBand. Malaysia Boleh! Penang Boleh!

Check out some of the videos produced by Malaysia’s very own iBand below:-

Penang iBand performed “Love Story” by Taylor Swift

Penang iBand performed “Kiss Goodbye” by Wang Leehom

Really keeps me wondering what is the real difference between the videos by Atomic Tom vs Penang iBand. Both has got talent but one has gone viral in Youtube but not the other. If you know the answer, do let me know by providing your comments below.
