There is a harmful DroidDream going around as well on the market...

If you got a custom rom..you might be safe due to a fix done that patches DroidDream..but I am not 100% sure if it covers the new varient or not..it should..but not sure 100%

I'm starting to think that Microsoft or Apple is paying to get these made to show us the "downfall" of an open OS...I'm actually surprised that WM didn't have this many problems...

umm...not really..how do you think we root phones? by using a virus..same way people jailbreak and etc...but there are people who attempt to use these exploits in bad ways as well..

Winmo in general is used less often...so there are less exploits for it..but they definitely exist..there just was a smaller user base for it..thus they weren't exactly heard about on the news..neither were many developed..

iphone had its share of exploits as well..

Not to mention, its fairly easy to spread via Google Market...
