Reselling your used iPhone can be risky business if the device contains sensitive data. Normal restore and wipe procedures don’t fully delete user daa from the iPhone.

With the iPhone AppStore due to debut within a month’s time, developers who have been accepted into Apple’s official iPhone program are chomping at the bit to discuss their upcoming applications.

In these times of fervid speculation, most anything — a stray embedded icon, an off-hand remark from a wireless executive, an iPhone-shaped potato chip — can pass as a viable indicator of forthcoming announcements from Apple.
