lol :) yea i certainly agree on the fact that apple is godlike ;) (hooray for steve jobs!) as for the inherently secure part, i have my doubts :s perhaps they can give established 3th party developers some kind of digital signature or something (i don't know i'm not a security expert :p) but if one uses his iPhone with just a drop of common sense i'm sure it will be safe :) now if i only had the money to buy one :((

It's true it's an issue, but if you are stupid enough to follow a link that was sent to you from a person you don't even know, what do you expect? i don't think it's the developer's job to protect people against their own stupidity.. and the part of the hacker being in between the user and the real server, it's quite an old trick really, but again the user must have run a script/program to make the iphone not connect to the real server, but to the hacker.. but well, if apple can do something about it without having to ask you twice if you're sure you want to do what you're doing (like some other real secure os's do...), be my guest
