I just got this alert on my iPhone, I don't have it jailbroken and I've no idea what the hell is going on.

It was just sitting in the dock on the home screen when it popped up

This isn't a joke, I'm not mucking about. Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on?


<edit> OK seems it is one of my friends, but he won't tell me how

Aaron - u seen the specs for the new iphone firmware?
Stephen - yeah, looks cool
Aaron - picture messaging and copy and paste.. bout bloody time
Stephen - push notifications is all I care about
Aaron - maybe they will get rid of that text message thing aswell
Stephen - text message?
Aaron - the sending message alert to people
Stephen - nope, no idea what you mean
Aaron - i sent u one earlier
Stephen - saying?
Aaron - I dunno.. you either got the small penis one or the iphone hungry
Stephen - so that was you. How the hell did you do that?
Aaron - message alerts
Stephen - yes, but how?
Aaron - tis a bitch u cant tell who sent them
Stephen - I just showed it to several people in the office and no one else has a clue how I got it


<edit again> Seems sending a specially crafted text message does it, just tested and it indeed does (I won't say what it is to prevent people abusing it ;)). That is really quite bad, freaked me out at first, I was about to format my iPhone
