This is not a big problem, because the fix can be forsed through its update system, like microsoft doing it. Similiar vulnerability for Symbian OS is a big thing, because almost no one updates their phone's firmware. =)

If it's as as serious as the article claims, I'll be quite shocked. If someone were to release an iPhone worm that spreads via SMS, then Apple would be devastated.
But they would have better infrastructure to deal with it than any other cell provider. (iTunes, retail stores, etc.)

I'm pretty sure AT&T could do some packet filtering and block those bad sms.

This is singly the most important piece of iPhone news yet. It may even eclipse the announcement of the device itself... From the Computerworld article, the exploit gains root access. Imagine a 21 million phone bot-net created overnight, with the ability to geo-locate each unit and receive audio and video from it. Remember that most PC exploits can be prevented via a firewall, and this cannot. Most PC's are also behi…

Airplane mode doesn't do this? (Yeah, yeah, Phyrric victory...)
