    Apparently a virus for jailbroken iPhones is going around Holland at the moment, and there are fears that it will spread: http://tinyurl.com/yg2xq5a

    Suckers. Since most people I know who cracked their iPhones have them full of downloaded apps they did not pay for, many got what they deserved. After all, why else would you jailbreak your iPhone? This does not happen to most iPhone users. We also think it's funny if it spreads.

    There really is no need to jailbreak the iPhone - I've got everything I want on mine without having to go through the effort of jailbreaking it.
