Apple might be a bit busy preparing for the official launch of their next generation iPad and iOS 5.1. But it appears like they will have to find more time to fix a new bug in iOS 5.0.1 which allows a person to get unauthorized access to the contacts and the calling features of an iPhone.

The details on the new issue comes courtesy of  iPhoneislam, who believe that it is a “major” flaw. But after watching the video, you will most probably agree with us on the fact that the passcode bypassing allowed by this bug is quite difficult to pull off.

The hack involves inserting and ejecting the iPhone’s SIM card, while you try to call the device. If you perform this for long enough, you will eventually get access to the phone app, and you will be able to make calls as well. But for the hack to work, it is required that you know the victim’s phone number (or have a spare SIM card) and a strong belief that it can be done.

It appears to be a very minor bug, but still, it won’t be very nice if someone who stole your iPhone gets free access to your contacts. Apple will most likely release a fix for it along with the upcoming iOS 5.1. In the meantime, you can check out the guy sweating it out in the video below.

Sure, there's all kinds of voice apps and Skype apps, but now with PhoneIt, you really turn your iPad into a gigantic iPhone since you can make and receive phone calls or send text messaging using PhoneIt.

]]> Maybe you’re one of those crazy kooks who didn’t get an iPad because it does not offer the possibility of making phone calls. Sure, there’s all kinds of voice apps and Skype apps, but now with PhoneIt, you really turn your iPad into a gigantic iPhone since you can make and receive phone calls or send text messaging using PhoneIt. The app has been developed by iPhoneIslam and runs on jailbroken iPad tablets only (that leaves the iPad 2 out of the question); therefore you should not expect to see it in the AppStore. PhoneIt-iPad does not require data-only SIM cards, which are usually provided for the iPad; the app works with regular 3G SIM cards. If you want to install this app on your iPad so as to use your tablet to make phone calls, you might consider using a headset. The iPad is quite big and it would be uncomfortable to hold it to your ear, not to mention that people will definitely make funny faces when they see somebody talking on the iPad on the street. PhoneIt-iPad can be purchased from Cydia for $20. A video recorded by iPhoneIslam while testing the app is also available.
