No modern smartphone viruses?
Could you take a look at Tim Wyatt's 4/3 post on the Lookout blog and explain how "right now there hasn???t been any real virus on modern smartphones"? The malware variant Wyatt describes uses a malformed JPEG to gain root access to the OS, then downloads and installs a payload app. Is this not virus behavior? Or maybe you don't consider Android prior to 2.3.4 to be a "modern" smartphone OS?
