With several gigabytes of storage now common on smartphones, users store a large amount of data and personal information on their devices—from personal photos to sales contacts. That’s why analysts say the biggest threat is losing the device. “The biggest piece of data people don’t think about is the amount of passwords the browser has stored,” says Eric Ogren, principal analyst at the Ogren Group. “If you can figure out how to get into that, someone loses his phone and—shazam!—you’ve got access to every account.

“GCC, Apple, and LLVM

The story of the compiler is a little more interesting.

To this day, Apple’s compiler is a rather drastic fork, and gcc proper simply does not target any of Apple’s machines.

Luckily, as is required under the GPL (gcc’s license), Apple publishes the source code for these modifications. They don’t seem to be very good about it, though (I have heard that they never released the source code to Xcode 2.5′s build of gcc, and they seem to believe they can provide source on their own schedule, rather than with the corresponding binaries, which is required by the license).

Court filings includes a list of popular HTC Android and Windows Mobile phones targeted in the concurrent ITC Complaint to block importation of those devices into the US. The listed patents are all seemingly software patents, a controversial area of patent law. Apple sues smartphone manufacturer HTC for patent infringement.
