What do you think?

Is iPhone really a secure device or is it a device which focuses on usability and interactivity? I think is the latter. As such, I believe Apple conducts some risk analysis but may do so from a perspective of business, not the customer. With that said, I believe the iPhone supports an app for pretty much anything, but developers are not known for being security guys.
Mitnick recently demonstrated how caller id spoofing apparently can compromise a voice mail system as caller id services are considered “trusted”. The voice mail account was not password protected.
