I’m surprised how little (if anything) I’ve heard about the iPhone being the catalyst for mobile viruses. You know the iPhone will get cheaper and with Cingular/AT&T subsidies, it may gain a very large “surface area” and that is what is attractive to virus writers: that and the notoriety of being the first (or one of) to unleash a mobile virus into the wild. Clamping down the OS will help protect (at least for a short while) the iPhone from the nefarious fate that will eventually be bestowed upon it.
