    Serves em right anyway, Apple were providing a secure phone, until they jailbreak it and remove some of the security.

    might make people think twice about jailbreaking there iphones if malicious virus's do start flying around.

    Damn right, anyone who wants to run what they want on their iPhone is worse than Hitler.

    even if the Internet and Rick are going to be together forever. Perhaps it's a cry for help from Australia.
