Just a quick heads-up: if you're currently using a device with the BlackBerry 6 OS, you may want to disable JavaScript for your browser. A new browser exploit was recently made public at the Pwn2Own contest that can allow access to your device's any kind of media stored on your device, regardless of whether that's on your external memory card or the handset's internal memory. There haven't been any recorded cases of the exploit actually being used, but if you want to be safe, you can disable JavaScript on your BB 6 device by pressing the BlackBerry key, going to "Options," going into the "Web Content" section, and unchecking the "Enable JavaScript" box.

It's kind of a bummer that some BB folks have to disable JavaScript in their shiny, new OS 6 browser, but wouldn't you feel safe knowing the contents of your smartphone's memory was safe from potential hackers? RIM hasn't given an ETA for when we can expect a fix to be made available, but they did say that they're currently "investigating the issue to determine the best resolution for protecting BlackBerry smartphone users." Here's to hoping a patch isn't far off.
