Well, someone always has to find the negative in everything. I will just be glad when Apple and AT&T lets you activate an Iphone for a small business, or Corporate account.

For me, it's like everything else. Nothing is 100% secure, our nation, our computers, our cell phones. As soon as a software fix comes out for this, there will be another security issue found. I just take as many precautions as is prudent, and live my life. Apple still doesn't have as many security issues as a PC. (sorry, I just had to say that.)

Usonian it is True!
Without noticing it, we more and more are susceptible to paranoia and also there is people who enjoy or thrive touching the paranoid nerve of other people.
Security is serious issue under some circumstances but I am reluctant to buy some of the commercial "security patches", since I suspect many times both the remedy and the disease may have a common origin. (Hackers ways to make money.)
Patches by the manufacturer are a different ball game.
Finally my experience with Mac-Apple computing products has been superb about the resistance to viruses, spy ware etc.
In that respect they are very far ahead of PC-Microsoft.
I have no reason to suspect I-Phone would perform under lower standards.
