A flaw in the iPhone's software can allow anyone to bypass the password-locking feature of the phone and get access to the phone's Favorites menu. Once in the Favorites menu, other parts of the iPhone can be accessed, such as Mail, Safari and SMS. This flaw negates the password-lock feature and exposes user data to anyone with knowledge of the method used to get past the password lock. A temporary solution has been discovered. In the iPhone's Settings menu, click on "General", then click on "Home Button", then click on either "Home" or "iPod". Choosing one of these two options will prevent anyone from accessing the Favorites menu, and keep most user data safe.

Anybody know if this affects the iTouch as well?
If so, is the fix accomplished through the same steps?
I have a friend who just got an iTouch and I was wondering if this applies to the iTouch too. If it does I can warn them about it. I ask because I think the iTouch allows Web browsing like the iPhone.
Thanks.
This flaw is accessed through the dialpad when the phone is locked. Since the ipod touch does not have a dialpad for making calls, it will not be affected.
