iCloud MobileMe Quota Storage

iCloud MobileMe Quota Storage

As with most things in the digital world and examining evidence, it is essential for an examiner to understand the way in which a product or service works and the options that brings, as opposed to only considering the stored data that is discovered upon initial examination.

There has been alot of discussions in the forensic community about iCloud and its impact on off-device storage access and examination. Interesting to note then that MobileMe storage quotas are in place, as recently observed:

If the user only wants to keep to the 5GB limit and doesn't delete data and the devcie storage is equally full, is newer data automatically deleted or stored elsewhere? I only raise the point because with increased data flowing in and out of mobile phones, this could impact on data connected to one issue being spread across several storage locations.

One-Size-Fits-All Power Charger

One-Size-Fits-All Power Charger

Manufacturers have agreed to create a single one-size-fits-all power charger, thus the expectation of a standard PSU interface will be used. The approach is being applied to data-enabled mobile phones for models to be distributed in 2011 according to the EU, as reported by Business Week:

Business Week identify the manufacturers as Apple, Emblaze Mobile, Huawei Technologies, LGE, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Qualcomm, Research in Motion (RIM), Samsung, SonyEricsson, TCT Mobile, Texas Instruments.

The news of a single charger has been around for a while but is a useful reminder as apparently the 2011 handsets wont be supplied with charger according to the Business Week article.

Handsets with the new charger design could prove helpful when we are examining mobile phones where there is no charger supplied with the 'exhibit' or the customer's DFE.
