    Default Smudges.. the Achilles Heel of the unlock pattern.


    So I was playing with my new G1, setting up my unlock pattern when I noticed that my unlocking pattern was smudged onto my screen. Clear enough for anyone who knows how to turn a phone to reflect light to read.

    Hm, i wonder if the traditional unlock with a pin number method will be available, i dont mind memorizing a few numbers i think its easier.

    they probably gonna make a screen protector that doesn't smudge. i have one for my iphone and it works really well. having to wipe your display all the time sucks.

    I don't think it would be an issue. Every time I touch my screen I have to wipe it on my shirt to get those smudges off.....OCD FTW!!
