iPhones-Macintosh computers become apples of hackers' eyes

I welcome the iPhonies and Mac-heads providing different targets for the mal-ware purveyors. Take a little heat off the rest of us.

Ah...I remember the heady days of the MDEF and CDEF viruses.

"It took about a month for someone to hack a first-generation iPhone after its release, but an iPhone 3G was cracked within hours of the start of sales in July.

The hack is crowned a "jail break" because it liberates iPhone models from the shackles of deals Apple has with telecom giants providing exclusive service to the devices in varying countries."

That's not true. The 3G hasn't been hacked to run on any carrier yet. You can just jailbreak it, which means you can have unauthorized 3rd party apps on your phone, such as Quake, and NES ROMs.
