Maybe I'm the one dim bulb in the chandelier, but why do so many people want to unlock their iPhone, and for that matter, what does it mean to unlock the phone anyway?

The V3c allows me to record (over multiple steps), but then I can't find where/how to listen to my memos! I know this is a 'low on the radar' issue, but any insight would be appreciated....
