It’s a sad fact that iPhone doesn’t completely erase our data when we select “Erase All Content and Setting” option. This has bring alot of confusion to the users as they’re preparing to upgrade to the new iPhone 3G. AppleInsider said that now it can be done completely with iPhone 2.0 software. The erasing process is quite similar with Leopard’s Secure Erase Trash option. It will unlink the data then overwrite them with randomized bits, which will make the data completely unrecoverable. The process would take some time, but it’s definetly worth the wait.

Paul Miller from EngadgetMobile got his hands on the LG Dare that’s hitting Verizon Wireless today. According to his report, LG and Verizon put alot of effort on this device. Particularly with the hardware the LG Dare seems determined to differentiate itself from its iPhone competition, with helpful tactile feedback while typing, handwriting recognition, video recording (with in slow-mo) and editing, and the beefed-up photo taking capabilities that a 3.2 megapixel sensor and built-in flash provide. Also the sturdy and bright screen, peppy EV-DO Rev A., expandable memory and a flush 3.5mm headphone jack.

Enjoy the pictures, guys!
