Tip: iPhone - Buried File Contains Personal Data

Those who've hacked their iPhone for disk access—a default feature for the iPod, by the way—have the chance to look at a dynamic-text.dat file located in /var/root/Library/Keyboard. The file contains personal words not in the default dictionary, even passwords, in apparently easy-to-read text. Doesn’t seem very secure or private, does it? As Tuaw.com points out, you may want to keep a close eye on this file, since it contains information you’ll likely want to keep away from prying eyes.
