Mark Bridge writes:

Last week, French iOS security researcher pod2g revealed a potential security risk with the Apple iPhone’s handling of SMS text messages.

All text messages can be sent with an optional ‘reply to’ telephone number that’s different from the sender’s number. The majority of text messages don’t use this feature - and many phones either ignore the extra data or display both numbers - but Apple’s iOS seems to handle it in a potentially risky way.

Three UK announces iPad data tariffs as Orange and T-Mobile iPad deals go on sale

ThreeThree UK has announced its tariffs for the Apple iPad with WiFi+3G when bought with a ‘pay monthly’ contract .

Pricing starts from £199 for the 16GB WiFi/3G tablet when bought on a two-year £25 per month contract. However, although the monthly cost is similar to that offered by T-Mobile and Orange, the Three tariff includes considerably more mobile data; 15GB as opposed to 2GB.

Marc Allera, sales and marketing director at Three, said “We are delighted to launch new pricing options for iPad with WiFi + 3G, in addition to our competitive SIM-only plans for iPad in the UK. Our network is the largest 3G network in the country and came first in the two most recent YouGov surveys of Mobile Broadband customers - ensuring our customers enjoy the very best mobile performance on iPad.”

The Three UK deals aren’t available online but can only be bought from selected stores. Orange and T-Mobile's iPad deals are available online today following their announcement last week.
