That's Apple's party line, but it's a safe bet they aren't looking *that* closely at each program that gets uploaded. But one advantage to application-specific pre-built platforms like the iPhone and the BlackBerry is that they can offer more useful control over what each program is allowed do. On the BB, for example, for each program, you can choose whether it gets access to your contacts, your email, the Internet, etc. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
