Impact: A person with physical access to a locked device may be able to access the user’s data

Description: A memory corruption issue exists in the handling of a certain USB control message. A person with physical access to the device could use this to bypass the passcode and access the user’s data. This issue is addressed through improved handling of the USB control message.

Impact: Accessing a maliciously crafted FTP server could result in an unexpected application termination, information disclosure, or arbitrary code execution

Description: Multiple input validation issues exist in WebKit’s handling of FTP directory listings. Accessing a maliciously crafted FTP server may lead to information disclosure, unexpected application termination, or execution of arbitrary code. This update addresses the issues through improved parsing of FTP directory listings. Credit to Michal Zalewski of Google Inc. for reporting these issues.

Impact: Mail may load remote audio and video content when remote image loading is disabled

Description: When WebKit encounters an HTML 5 Media Element pointing to an external resource, it does not issue a resource load callback to determine if the resource should be loaded. This may result in undesired requests to remote servers. As an example, the sender of an HTML-formatted email message could use this to determine that the message was read. This issue is addressed by generating resource load callbacks when WebKit encounters an HTML 5 Media Element.

Many iPhone users were anticipating the addition of this feature in iPhone OS 3.o however, Cut/Copy/Paste and Push Notification turned out to be the highlight.

proswitcher iphone jailbroken multitaskingPalm Pre’s WebOS features a very intuitive interface to switch active applications without actually closing the app, which makes the device capable of multi-tasking. If your iPhone or iPod touch is jailbroken then you don’t have to hope that Apple adds ‘backgrounding’ ability in iPhone OS 4.0. ProSwitcher adds Palm Pre-style application switcher to any jailbroken iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0+

iPhone is truly a revolutionary device, its strength lies in the seamless integration of hardware and software. We hope that Apple will eventually update iPhone OS with multi-tasking feature to remain competitive in the enterprise sector.

Eliminate Pro and Touch Pets Dogs iPhone

When Apple introduced In app purchase as a part of iPhone OS 3.0, developers were allowed to offer in app paid upgrades instead of offering different applications for new functionality.

In app purchase was mainly targeted at developers offering some kind of subscription service or new level packs for games. Developers who wanted to take advantage of this functionality were forced to charge for their applications as a free app could not feature paid upgrades.

On October 15, 2009 Apple extended in app purchase feature to developers offering free app store applications and since then we have witnessed major iPhone game developers taking advantage of this new functionality.

ngmoco:) was one of the first established game publishers to offer their highly anticipated games Eliminate Pro and Touch Pets Dogs absolutely free on App Store while incorporating the in app purchase concept.

Eliminate Pro iPhone

Eliminate Pro iPhone

Eliminate Pro requires you to have enough energy points to play the game and as you play more often you earn credits. Each time you enter a match your energy drains and can recharge only once a day. If you run out of energy the game allows you still play but no credit points are earned. The credits earned can further be used to buy armor or weapons. To continue winning more credits you will have to win more matches by continually upgrading and staying competitive, which creates an irresistible urge to buy power cells that cost anywhere between $.99 upto $39.99!

Touch Pets Dogs iPhone

Touch Pets Dogs is based on the similar concept but, here instead of buying power cells you have to buy dog food for your pet so that its mood meter stays platinum and you can earn more puppy bucks. You can use the puppy bucks in Pet Store Departments to buy toys, shirts, accessories, career tools, passes and more. If you run out of dog food and your pet is low on energy it will go to sleep, which means you would not be able to play the game or fulfill its career. In order to complete your goals for the puppy and to avoid the long wait you can buy dog food for real money from App Store.

Eliminate Pro climbed the Top Free Apps to take number one position in ten days while Touch Pets Dogs has already reached 52 position in just two days. The strategy adopted by ngmoco:) is very clear, they offered their premium titles which heavily depend on social networking for free and were successful in creating a competitive environment which compels the user to buy upgrades.

No official figures related to the number of users actually buying paid upgrades have been made available yet however, reaching the Top Free Apps category in less than 10 days clearly spells success for ngmoco:)

When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone in Macworld 2007 it was primarily promoted as a widescreen iPod with touch controls, revolutionary mobile phone and breakthrough internet communications device. Over the past two years a lot has changed and it would not be wrong to say that Apple has not only reinvented the Phone but has also changed the entire mobile gaming industry.

The introduction of App Store has caused a revolution in the way software for phones should be made available and developed. iPhone/iPod touch apps and games have been successful due to iPhone’s revolutionary UI, interplay of hardware-software and the growing creative development community.

iPhone OS 3.0 will be released on June 17 which brings a lot of feature enhancements and speed bumps, but it will also push iPhone gaming to the next level with Push Notification, In app Purchase and Peer to Peer Connectivity.

iphone-push-notificationPush notification

There are a number of ways to send a push notification. Send a message with text that lets the user launch your app. Trigger audible alerts with your own custom sounds. Add a numbered badge to your app icon when it’s important to let the user know how many things are waiting for them.

iPhone OS 3.0 will enable developers to add a new feature to their apps/games with which they will be able to engage and unite users all over the world with a simple sound or text alert. Push Notification will bring new meaning to online games enabling users to connect instantly anywhere and anytime. Today Tap Tap Revenge 2 was updated with push notification service which allows you to challenge your friends to beat your high score. It will be interesting to see how iPhone game developers further make use of this service to enhance mobile gaming. ngmoco:) has already demonstrated how LiveFire (multiplayer first-person shooter) will utilize push notification service allowing you to ask your friends to help you out in game missions which will certainly add great replay value and unique gaming experience.

iphone-in-app-purchaseIn App Purchase

In app purchase gives you the flexibility to support a variety of business models. You can offer your customers additional services and content within your paid app.

In App Purchase will add the ability to offer more game levels, features and facilitate continued development for a single game title. This will keep users glued to their favorite game with more and more replay value. Thus, eliminating one of the reasons some games don’t score too well in reviews.

peer-to-peer-connectivity-iphonePeer to Peer Connectivity

Some games are just not the same when you’re playing against the computer—word games, chess and other strategy games are so much better when you’re playing against another person. You can now create games that are easy to set up and play between two devices, whether it’s an iPhone or an iPod touch

With more than 40 million iPhone OS devices sold and the number continually growing it is quite possible for your friends or the person sitting next to you having an iPhone/iPod touch. Peer to Peer Connectivity will add the ability to truly enjoy word or strategy games by connecting with other players without a Wi-fi or cellular connection. This feature will allow sharing game state over a standard IP-based communication channel through Bluetooth with automatic discovery handled by Bonjour.

Some games utilizing these features to watch out for: Sims 3, LiveFire, Touch Pets Dogs and Star Defense.
