1) Might be the first ever spam-sending app, but its not the first malicious app to be on the apple store!

2) If you have download a broken app, soon as the glitch is fixed (which wont be long) delete the app and re-install hardly ground breaking.

And personally i get my tech news from tech sites I find the information far more reliable than a site based on people living and working abroad, but hey that's just me. Horses for courses I guess.....

It's a heads up, many people here have smartphones but they are busy working.

A caution is still valid, even if scribbled on a toilet wall.

If they have the time they can follow the link

I do have an "iThingy". It's called an iPhone, and I'll trust iTunes to take care of it.
