Security Apps for iPhone / iPod Touch 
At any rate, one of the things you learn when you get an iPhone or an iPod Touch is that there is a world of available programs called Apps. There are Apps for just about anything you can imagine. There are silly ones- like the flickerig lighter you can hold up at a concert, or the flashlight that just makes your whole screen bright so you can use your iPhone / iPod Touch as a flashlight. There are also many other more productive Apps of all varieties. Many are free. Some cost a few dollars and a few cost more (like $10 or higher).
I am starting to take a look at what is out there in iPhone / iPod Touch Apps related to computer and information security. For starters, I am checking out the various Apps related to protecting passwords and other personal information. If you have any experience- good or bad- with any security-related iPhone Apps, drop me an email or comment on this post and let me know. Your experience may help someone find the App they've been looking for, or help them avoid wasting time and money on Apps that don't quite live up to their hype.

I thought you could buy an ipod docking station and it would work with your iphone. I asked for one for xmas. is there nothing out there for docking your iphone?
I asked at Best Buy. They said there was one model of docking alarm clock that would work, but you have to put the iPhone in Airplane mode so that it disables all communications and you can’t receive or make phone calls. So- in theory it is possible with some devices, but only if you won’t be needing your phone at all. That is a plausible workaround, but I would like a device that lets me dock my iPhone, use it as an iPod, and still get incoming calls and just undock it to answer when necessary.
The iHome iP9BR allows you to dock your iPhone without needing to put it in airplane mode. I’m sure there are other products out there that are similar, but that’s what I use and it works nicely. The reason that older speakers/alarms etc won’t let you dock an iPhone is because there’s a lot of interference with the radio and you get a lot of noise. They have to shield the speakers to stop this.
Tony, your research and opinions on the password protection apps would be greatly appreciated. I use an app called ‘my eyes only’ which seems pretty good. I also have ‘1password’, which has a great password generator, but ironically it considers 4 digit passwords to be weak … which is all you have to use to log in to said app! Either way, using a so called secure passworded application on a device which could so easily ‘phone home’ seems to me too dangerous to trust sensitive data such as banking passwords on.
