The Apple iPhone was released to much fanfare on June 28, 2007. Because of the large amount of personal information stored on these mobile devices, the authors decided to conduct a security analysis of the iPhone. The iPhone’s applications for surfing the web and checking emails are potentially at risk to remote attacks. This paper examines exactly how well the software on the iPhone is designed to resist such attacks.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite system that provides highly accurate location with the use of special GPS receivers and their augmentations. This accurate GPS data is of limited use by itself, unless it is coupled with a powerful visualization tool like the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The GIS is a widely accepted visualization tool that presents data in a graphic form, which is a convenient and effective means of communicating complex information.

This whitepaper compares Kleer technology to Bluetooth technology for the application of wireless streaming audio. Bluetooth is a standard for relatively short-range general-purpose data communications. Bluetooth has found initial market success in wireless voice headsets for mobile phones and is now trying to address stereo audio for mobile phones and portable audio players. Bluetooth solutions suffer from poor audio quality due to the use of lossy audio compression, poor ISM (2.4GHz) band coexistence performance in ....
