The smart phones with integrated features and utilities, the products of the latest technologies, prove to be even more useful and dangerous than professional spies.
A “tragicomedy” has been narrated by office workers these days that a member of an information technology forum has discovered the adultery committed by his girlfriend, thanks to the smart phone iPhone 4. 
With preeminent features, smart phones now can be described as professional spies. Especially, they can serve as the witnesses in the cases of adultery.

One day, after returning from a business trip, TinhT asked the girl to go out with him. However, the girl refused to go out, reasoning that her parents did not want her to go out on the day. The man, who wanted to test the new function Mobile Me on iPhone 4, decided to find out where the iPhone 4 he gave to the girlfriend as a gift was.

Getting angry, the member decided to post an entry on the forum. The guy expressed his “sincere thanks” to Steve Jobs and showed his absolute belief on iPhone products.

In modern countries, users do not have the habit of changing SIM, and they want to use different services with such a mobile phone (credit cards, personal information). Therefore, if the stolen mobile phones’ users register security services, the system will track down and provide concrete information, which helps the actual owners to get back the phones.
However, in many cases, the functions are not used for the right purposes. Security experts said that mobile phone is listed among the top products with personal information security problems. A smart phone now contents more information than a personal computer, including “sensitive information” about account number, credit cards, and personal videos and pictures.
Meanwhile, the spy ware, after getting installed in the phones, can record the information and upload into servers from which evildoers can download to exploit the information.
