    I guess these stories are at least warnings to those who own Android phones - better to be aware of potential issues.

    And although anyone can Jailbreak an iPhone, the fact that Apple somewhat "controls" their Apps and interface, amongst other factors, really limits this sort of thing happening to iPhone users. That and the fact that none of us can actually get hold of one as yet.

    iphone security has been broken on a couple of occasions so they arent immune.

    cant see anything ever being 100% safe due to the very nature of the things...

    i am looking for a solution, not just an iphone.. the iphone 4 is a contender as are a couple of others.

    i want something that will work in 4511 and 4613 as well as manage my appointment calendar and contacts "reliably"

    i use outlook for the appointments and contacts

    doesn't sound like much but it is proving to be somewhat of a challenge to find a solution that actually works to the point of being business class...

    Should the fact that you can hack the iPhone4 OS simply by downloading a PDF from a website be classed as 'potential issue' with an iPhone4 ???

    Just to clarify - would that be on iPhones that had been Jailbreaked already? Just asking (cos I don't know) and because I thought these viruses, at least the ones referred to in the article I posted, were downloaded through dodgy apps.

    If an iPhone has not had a Jailbreak done - I thought it could only downloaded Apple apps, which are not going to be infected - are they?
