He should've used Java ME tech: Steve Jobs' iPhone gets hacked

It didn't take very long. Someone found a security hole in the iPhone. Stevie-boy should've used Java ME technology. There's nothing like making sure an app is properly signed by an authorized certificate before allowing it to run on your cell phone. Java ME has had that right for about 6 years now. Too bad. IPhone users will learn. It might take them 6 years, possibly shorter if Stevie-boy gets wise and puts Java ME on the next generation of iPhones.

See:

Already, the first iPhone Security Hole

Here's a quote:

 The iPhone is becoming a victim 
 of its own success, he said. “The 
 irony is that the more popular 
 something is, the more insecure 
 it becomes, because popularity 
 paints a large target on its 
 back.”
