SSH = Secure SHell

that "lock" symbol you see in your iphone means SSH is enabled. no problem. you can do banking in your iphone.

It safe to do online banking or order online as long you know they are using SSL - "Sercure Socket Layer" (not SSH) . Most web browser show a locked padlock icon when ssl is enabled also you can look at the web address https:// "s" at the end mean secured http.

But https:// is not always secured and newer browser will pop up a warning if it not secured or the ssl cerfication is not vaild. So make sure you know or see a padlock icon when visiting https:// sites like online banking and you will be safe.

Virus still can install a keylogger which track your web address and username and password but most banks now require you to answer questions or idenitfy a picture you set up like what is your sister name or your high school etc that hackers who got your info by key logger will failed to get into your account if your bank have a second layer proctection.


Tilt 2 / Pure is a newer Windows Mobile phone with a bigger screen than old Tilt and I am still thinking about getting it. I like iPhone very much and I think iPhone is very nice but I only use my phone for only emails and texts that all.

So I rather pay 30 a month for a email / text service than pay 50 dollar a month for iPhone. It save me 240 dollar a year over iPhone because i don't use anything else on phone just email. Sometime I use web browser but very rarely because I have laptop with me everywhere I go.

iPhone virus only effected on jailed broken phones so as long your iPhone not jail broken you are pretty much safe because I am sure Apple scrub all software on their apps store for virus before releasing it to the public. Jail broken iPhone bypass the apps store so don't jail break your iPhone and you don't need to worry about virus.

A jailbroken iPhone will bypass the restrictions set by the Apple.

Like installing any software without needing to go thur iTunes Apps store etc.

Which 16 or 32GB you would prefer for iPhone 3GS?
Click to expand...

I may consider to choose 8 GB, because I don't need to download music. Only movies, because I travel alot. :lol: 8 GB can hold up to 3,000 minutes of videos --- that's good enough for me. :D
 
I think 16 GB is good enough for me. :)

That's like an average of 16 movies in a 8 GB iPod without any other applications installed.
