Nokia phone with Snapdragon onboard coming this year?

Lettered passcode on your iPhone
Here’s an interesting passcode hack for the iPhone. Actually, this one isn’t even a hack, since it has been made with Apple’s own tools and can be used on a non-jailbroken device. 9to5mac used Apple’s Corporate Development kit to make this.
The hack will let you use letters in your passcode, and it forces you to combine numbers and letters in it, and will not let you use sequences of any kind. For instance ‘abcd1234′ is not allowed, when ‘adbc4132′ is allowed.
To apply this hack, you just simply have to open this file with your iPhone. If you ever need to get rid of this, simply go to Settings/General/Profiles/9to5mac/ and remove the file.
