A flaw in the design of iOS 4.1 allows someone to bypass the passcode entry lock on the iPhone. On a locked iPhone input a random number in the emergency call field, press call and promptly hit the hardware lock button. This will take you to the Phone app granting access to the call history, voicemail and address book. This hack works on iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4.
Additionally, selecting "shared contact" and the camera icon will grant access to the photo album. If you hold down the menu button you will have access to any music stored on the device as well. While these aren't major bugs, it could be used to exploit various areas of the device. [
