The hacker simply scanned for jailbroken iPhones with SSH installed and using the default root password. With this password he then sent what appears to be an SMS alert to the hacked phones that read,

“Your iPhone’s been hacked because it’s really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files.”

As you guys may know apple and china have been in negotiations for the past year. An agreemant was finally reached and the iphone was to be sold in China this last weekend. Unfortunately only 11 iPhones were sold, ten on one day and 1 the next. It is said that the official iPhone didn’t sell because of the black market iphones which come unlocked and have wifi enabled are a better deal. I myself believe the iPhone’s in China are way overpriced as an iPhone under contract with China Unicom for two years will run you at about ¥20,000 (3,000 USD). That is more than what an average Chinese worker makes in a year..

Apple has been pitching the idea of iTunes TV for $30/month to television networks for the past few weeks, according to a MediaMemo by Peter Kafka.

The service would obviously work with the Apple TV but would not be tied to it. Instead it would work through iTunes. Since Apple already has a huge install base for the iTunes software it would allow for quick and easy market penetration.
