Apparently it is very easy to check out old emails, contacts, photos and other personal info on the current iPhone model – even if the phone has been reset and erased. The next software version, 2.0, will take about an hour to reset but will delete all data for real by writing random data all over.

Really cool security feature. Hey Mikael whats up with the updates man, you have gone on an all time hault. I was introduced to the gadget blog business throught http://gadgets.fosfor.se but now u have slowed down with fosfor.com and because of you i started loopygadgets.com
U need to keep going and start giving engadget some competiton man!
Hey Keron, yes I know…a lot of personal stuff has been happening the last couple of month…sorry about that. Life has it’s ups and downs…
Before you can accidentally erase important data on your iPhone, have a back up using a sim card reader from crazyaboutgadgets.com
iPone doesn’t store its data on the SIM card. It’s all stored in nasty binary files hidden deep within the iChunes filesystem. Apple does NOT want you messing with your data
damn comment system delete my half-joke about Apple and AT&T having me killed for outing their Procrustean fascism. sigh I guess they really do PWN us.
Is there a way to erase old email files without erasing ALL data?
