You're right.. I keep forgetting that cell phones run "Windows/CP" and that all those other operating systems on hardware large and small are immune to attack. [more seriously, the point is that the systems that show up as being vulnerable are, by and large, the ones that attract the interest of the attackers. The false-security many folk think they have is oftten more a matter of their not being an interesting-enough target than their having any real additional security. Any sufficiently complicated device [e.g., an ipod..:o)] that is an attractive-enough target will undoubtedly find that it is less secure than it looked like it was.
