Oh, Jeez.. all you iPhone-haters, step off, please! So, you don't like/ want one.. cool. I love/ want mine.. cool. Different strokes, different folks. And, SwingingFr­omCenter.. seems to me, Android and open platform/ sources will be increasingly fertile ground for some hacker looking to get props.. Google has already both issued cease/ desist against one of the most prolific developers and simultaneously asked hackers to assist with SDK security issues. And, let's not forget.. these WERE "jailbroken" iPhones. I happen to love both phones and would have gone with the Google Android, if T-Mobile had better coverage in my area, so don't go all "iPhone Applezombie" on me!

Wow.

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Might want to make sure those buttons are carefully guarded if this is what happens when someone pushes them. It's a phone, not a deity. Get over yourself.

Never hear of this happening on the Android

There must be an app for that. Although they are jailbroken phones, so perhaps there is a reason (besides sheer profit) for apple to have locked down the file system and require everyone to purchase pre-approved apps through their store and open up itunes everytime you want to sync the system.

I loved it when the Macy's parade and NBC got Rick-Rolled by Rick himself last year.

This can't be true. Apple doesn't get viruses. I read that somewhere.
