Warning to those using iPhone and iPad.

      We all know that iPhone and iPad are one of the most innovative technologies of 21st century, it is incontrovertible. Why are they so successful? There are several reasons, but one of the major reasons is that Apple provides wide variety of apps. However, there have been some problems that have been found from some of the applications recently. Did you know that your personal information can be stolen by some of the apps that you guys are using?

      Few days ago, I read an article from Korean Search Engine site that your personal information may have been leaked from using some of the apps. It’s been told by application developers that if the user allows their location information to be provided to the apps they want to use, it’s possible that without further notice from the app’s company, your personal information or your pictures have been stolen. Moreover, the bigger problem is that it’s uncertain whether we can find which apps have illegally stolen your personal information.

       Apple has said that they will go under an investigation to find those developers who have done an illegal action, such as using their apps to steal other’s personal information. We all know iPhone and iPad are great devices, but the fact that Apple can’t even handle to protect user’s personal information, I have lost great respect for them. I was thinking of buying a new iPad that will be coming out soon, but if this problem continues on, I might have to rethink about it, or maybe I'll just buy a new Galaxy Tab.
