iPhone forensics market developing

Apparently something big is going down in the iPhone forensics world. TUAW has learned that about a half dozen different firms are actively hunting for developers who can assist law enforcement in reading data off unjailbroken iPhones, both the private and public partitions. We've been in touch with third-party Mac developers who have been contacted.

Want a gig as an iPhone CSI? You'll need a good working knowledge of the iTunes protocol and a way to communicate directly with the iPhone without altering any data that could be used for evidence.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
