Today I took a look into the AppStore and downloaded two new free Apps: HeavyMach Lite & TouchPhysics Lite, then I upgraded seven other AppStore apps. Since then I got the word “special” on top of my background-wallpaper, just beneath the time. Here’s a screenshot (that you can make with hold the home-button, then also tap the power-button; you’ll find the screenshot on your camera-roll):
I googled but only found this clueless (german) article and some even more clueless forum-posts: Magerquark-Blog. Looks like a lot of people are getting this error, and it isn’t connected to the jailbreak as many people with original hard- and software without modifications get it too. Most report the error is gone after powering off the iPhone and restarting it. I tried that too, and I can affirm that it works.
Many people also asked T-Online and Apple about the “special” behaviour, but as noone could give an answer, it could also mean that a virus, spy- or malware is infecting iPhones and iPods. If you have any aditional information, please comment.
You may also comment this article in german. If you wanna share this article, I would appreciate if you tweeted it.
