iPhone Gets First Third-Party Attempt

Posted by MobileTech

iPhone Gets First Third Party Attempt
By: Eric Everson, Founder – MyMobiSafe.com

A recent blog post by Vincent Nguyen on myitablet.com, suggests that the first “third party application” has been successfully ran on the iPhone platform. The details suggest that this step was made by a hacker named “Nightwatch” that used an ARM/Mach-0 Toolchain. If this information is verified in the weeks ahead, the reality of mainstream third party apps for iPhone users will blossom. This step would mean that the closed iPhone would soon be opened for all third party developers. Unlocking third party content for the iPhone means heightened increases in iPhone functionality, but could also open the iPhone users to malware attacks. Continue to follow the latest iPhone developments here from MyMobiSafe.com.
