I'm guessing Michael's smugness is due to the fact that he has SMS disabled, rendering this exploit ineffective on his iphone.

And yes you can disable SMS messages, you just need to call your provider and they can do that for you.]]>Jul 31st 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/sms-vulnerability-on-iphone-to-be-revealed-today-still-isnt-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/sms-vulnerability-on-iphone-to-be-revealed-today-still-isnt-pa/Jul 30th 2009 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/sms-vulnerability-on-iphone-to-be-revealed-today-still-isnt-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/sms-vulnerability-on-iphone-to-be-revealed-today-still-isnt-pa/
To stop RF it takes quite a bit of engineering. Rooms for RF testing that block out all external RF are quite a piece of work.

They patched (atleast) one of the bugs/exploits unlike Apple which has patched neither of them. Apple is too focused on fart apps and stopping the Palm Pre from syncing with iTunes to do anything. ]]>Jul 30th 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/sms-vulnerability-on-iphone-to-be-revealed-today-still-isnt-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/sms-vulnerability-on-iphone-to-be-revealed-today-still-isnt-pa/

They could only do Web Apps because of "security reasons"
They were late with Copy and Paste because of "security reasons".
You can't JailBreak your iPhone because of "NATIONAL SECURITY"

What's their excuse for this being late?
