    those are usually easy to bypass, depending on wiring you either ground out a wire on the head unit, or you jump a pair of wires to a certain resistance, or you jump them together straight.

    if the site accepted a cryptographic certificate from the device the first time you log in and select "remember me" then future logins are done with your saved user name and the cryptographic identity of your device, so an attacker would have to have a real time rootkit on your device, or take your crypto chip out of your device without you noticing it being destroyed

    so crazy that RIM has been doing it for years. you can save files from the web directly to the phone's file system, you can install apps directly from the web, you can do pretty much whatever you want, as a developer there is a $20 one time fee to access certain API's that RIM has deemed to be controlled, but you don't need their approval for your apps, just a signature so they know who is doing it if someone starts putting out apps that are maliciously trashing networks or other such badness.

    Apps can connect directly to the wifi, in fact i had trouble with a poorly designed app only working on wifi and not wanting to connect over mobile data.

    generally you WANT to go through BIS/BES since it gives you one consistent network gateway, rather than trying to figure out if you are connected to internet, some random wifi AP, a wifi LAN, or a laptop advertising itself as "free wifi"

    if you want to use the wifi connection directly you use the interface=wifi parameter. but please don't, your users will hate you for it.
