Sex sells on any platform, especially on popular devices like Apple’s iPhone. But the companies putting sexually implicit games and apps on the device must have suffered cardiac arrest when Apple showed them the doors a few days ago. However, a new report indicates that those apps might return on the iPhone and iPod touch

Money. That’s why the new tablet from Apple will run the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod touch. Apple has a lot of options to make money through iTunes with the upcoming tablet. If they just put OS X on the device, they just sell another tablet that not many would want. I would, but it wouldn’t be enough people to make a good profit. You can already work at home with an iMac, Mac Pro, or Mac Mini. You can work away from home with a MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Both of these types of systems, desktops and laptops have keyboard, this way you can work and play. If you want to have a constant connection to the web, you can get an iPhone and if you’re not interested in the $60 a month or more, you can get an iPod touch. So, why a tablet and why iPhone OS?

The tablet does not need to replace any of the above. It’s a whole new device. Whatever connection is has, wifi or cellular, whatever ports, USB or video, here’s some ideas I have or have heard of for the new tablet.

Newspaper & Magazine

More and more newspaper and magazine companies are closing down or switching to all digital content these days. This will help to revive this market. Think of things like the New York Times, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, etc.

eBook Reader & Textbooks

With the popularity of the Kindle and many educational institutes using iPod touches in class, the next big thing is the tablet. The Kindle is black and white. This helps with saving battery and targeting the device to one task but when it comes to textbooks, color, video and the ability to update the information keeps kids from buying a new book every year. I’m sure there will also be ways to highlight and use other tools to research.

Music LPs

Apple announced this year their new LPs which along with your album purchase comes lyrics, liner notes, video, photos and more. This is perfect content for a tablet.

App Store Apps

Of course app store apps already make Apple plenty of money, but if the same apps can be sold on another device, that’s just more money. Now, imagine the apps can be run in windows of their own, stretchable or of course running in the back ground.

Movies, Music Videos & TV Shows

This is all already available on the iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV, etc, but a tablet is a great device for video. Big screen, light weight, and hopefully, an OLED screen.

Cable TV

There are a few rumors of Apple working with cable companies on subscriptions from within iTunes. Hopefully this would stream to 5 devices just like iTunes music and apps do. Again, video streaming to a nice sized tablet of your cable tv programming!

All of these things Apple can charge for through iTunes and make a profit on. Hopefully this helps them with the decision to sell the device for less knowing they’ll make more in the future through media and app sales. Either way, I want one! How about you? Do you think the upcoming tablet device will run iPhone OS or OS X? Will you get one?

According to Forbes, today two researchers Charlie Miller and Collin Mulliner plan on releasing a bug in the iPhone SMS during the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. The bug is said to allow a person to take over an iPhone via SMS.

“Using a flaw they’ve found in the iPhone’s handling of text messages, the researchers say they’ll demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that can give a hacker complete power over any of the smart phone’s functions. That includes dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device’s camera and microphone and, most importantly, sending more text messages to further propagate a mass-gadget hijacking.”

If that doesn’t sound scary enough, the only way to prevent the attack is to turn your iPhone off.

“If you receive a text message on your iPhone any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character, Charlie Miller would suggest you turn the device off. Quickly.”

The researchers say that they notified Apple about the bug a month ago however, Apple has not released a fix for it.

Do we know if this is actually true or not… No. Do we know if iPhones all over the world are going to be hacked today… No. If you receive an email with a single square character, should you turn off your iPhone… that is up to you!
