back to article iPhone stuffed with crashing hard drive

The data-recovery virtuosi at DriveSavers have come up with an iPhone app that IT admins can use to explain to an unfortunate client exactly how and why their hard drive went south, taking all of that irreplaceable financial data with it.

    Hmm

    I personally think it's kind of cool, even though I think the iPhone is shite.
