iPhone dedicated site called Modmyifone.com has reported the first Trojan for the iPhone. Reports say that the Trojan was discovered by F-Secure security.

This iPhone Trojan is known as “iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep” or “113 prep” Upon uninstalling the 113 prep application, it also removes a lot of files from the /bin directory on the iPhone. Read more… »

Looks like there may have been a possible leak of the next version of Apple’s iPhone firmware, 1.1.3. According to Gear Live, it can now handle SMS to multiple recipients, the springboard (home screen) supports reordered icons and pagination (as well as web bookmarks), and Google maps gets hybrid view and that nifty cell-based location system. If this is all Steve plans to announce iPhone-wise at Macworld next month, we think there will be more than a few disappointed iPhone users out there. Then again, home screen pagination would kind of imply an SDK to make use of all those slots, so maybe the real news is under the hood.

Asus already has a full stable of Windows Mobile phones, but this flip-open QWERTY-enabled candybar seems like one we can get behind. Not only does it have a scree underneath for typing (in addition to the outside screen), it’s powered by a 520MHz CPU, has Tri-band GSM, 3G, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, not to mention Wi-fi and Bluetooth. As long as that keyboard underneath feels as good as it looks, this could be a killer communicator.

Mainlobby is a cool device which allows you to control various items around your home. Controllable things include lighting, heating, TV and other video equipment, audio and anything else that you could probably think of. The Mainlobby system is a touch screen which sits on your wall and interfaces with all your equipment.
Now there appears to be a cool web interface which will allow your iPhone or Touch to integrate with Mainlobby and use the iPhone/Touch as a remote control. It works by using Mainlobby’s built in web server and Safari’s AJAX support.
With the iPhone and Touch having great touch screens I can see this particular item doing well for controlling your home from wherever you are.
