What does it mean if someone has “root access” to my cell phone?

by dr.coop Question by RadGirl11: What does it mean if someone has “root access” to my cell phone? I’ve heard a lot about “root access” lately and am not sure what it means exactly regarding cell phones.

Having root simply means that the device is unlocked and gives the owner unrestricted access to the phone operating system. It’s called that because in the Unix/Linux/BSD computer community, being “root” means you can do anything on the system, like a system administrator, only better.

A Learning a Day: Frictionless Access to

I got my new iPad a week ago and while I have some plans for some intensive use coming up, I’ve been fiddling with it over the past few days and discovering uses for it. Aside from the fact that it takes ‘keeping in touch’ to a whole new level (clarity of FaceTime, Skype is incredible), the biggest plus has been something else.
