"I love my IPhone but I dislike Apples aggressive conrol of what software operates on it.As a result its the Only Apple product I will be buying."

That "aggressive control" is what's kept malware off the iPhone. Compare to the botnet that set itself up among 8,000 Android phones a few months ago when a seemingly useful free weather app turned out to be a trojan horse.

The security implications of more than a hundred million powerful, always-connected, location-aware, pocketable machines whose users don't think of them as computers are serious and wide-ranging. Apple's punctilious review of apps from the source code up shows they are taking this seriously. And that, FRiend, is why they won't allow third-party development tools anymore. Their own superb coding environment, XCode, is free. Their app approval process is thorough. Be glad.
