Locked iPhones Can Be Unlocked Without Password

snydeq writes "Private information stored in Apple's iPhone and protected by a lock code can be accessed by anyone with just a few button presses. Pressing the emergency call button at the unlock screen, followed by two taps on the home button, takes you to the iPhone's private 'favorites' page without the need to enter the unlock code, MacRumors user greenmymac has found. If the owner of the phone has favorite entries in their address book containing URLs, e-mail addresses or mobile phone numbers, then those entries can be used to launch the browser, mail application or SMS software, and gain access to private Web favorites, e-mail messages, and text messages stored in the phone, again without entering the unlock code."

not really surprising

I support the Iphone and blackberries, as I say to everyone, "if you want a fun toy, get an Iphone, if you want something secure and a good office tool, get a blackberry." I mean are we really surprised that a device designed for kids with too much money isn't secure?
