Pay a lot for a fancy iPhone, iPod, or iPad, but don't think you will be immune to hacks. My theory is that a nearby Femtocell was in place, and intercepted transmission between the Apple device and its intended web site. Afterwards it mimic'ed all of the transactions between the two end parties, massaging the middle. Notice that the article said nothing about the first generation iPads, which are still held back, and will never be updated to current version iOS levels. There is no loyalty in the computer industry, not to orphaned products.
Apple vein is "played out."

Time to dig new hole!
