Please stop circulating this BS FUD. Gartner was trolling for press in the build up before the iPhone release, and said this EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THE iPhone CAME OUT. Quoting: http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/08/02/iphonesecurity/index.php?pf=1 “I think [the concern over iPhone security] has been exaggerated,” Andrew Jaquith, security analyst with the Yankee Group, told Macworld. “You have to start with the observation that many of the people that complain the loudest and say it’s a security threat tend to be security companies themselves.” Vulnerability management vendor nCircle’s Andrew Storms was one of the first when he pronounced the iPhone “our new security nightmare.” This before the iPhone was released. Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney told IT executives to keep Apple’s iPhone away from their networks, eight days before the iPhone hit store shelves.

Notice that they haven't even mentioned anything running Palm OS. I've been at a conference this week and have seen a lot of Blackberries and a few iPhones. I've seen exactly ONE Treo, and the person spent most of their time asking me how I liked the iPhone. TjL Yahoo!
