SC-L,Ok, so we all have various opinions about security patching practices in software -- mostly bad, I'm confident. But, in today's environment, patching still seems to be a necessary evil. But for the most part, mobile devices have been pretty much left out in the code. That's starting to change, but slowly. Here's a story about Nokia's recent announcement to enable their phone users to update the software on their own phones. Of course, apart from the legitimate security updating aspects of this sort of feature, I wonder if they've carefully thought through the misuse cases... Time will tell.
In any case, FYI -- here's a URL to the article. Happy reading. http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=2105 Cheers, Ken ----- Kenneth R. van Wyk SC-L Moderator KRvW Associates, LLC http://www.KRvW.com
