Following less than two weeks after the Ikee proof-of-concept worm that exploited jailbroken iPhones, a far more malicious worm is now turning unlocked iPhones into a botnet.

What is so difficult about changing a password that people won’t do it?

Banana Phone

I’ve got this feeling, It’s so appealing…

I currently carry with me a Palm Treo 700p. I am a long-time Palm user. I am familiar with Palm, I like Palm… but the OS is seriously showing its age. My plan’s renewal benefit towards a phone upgrade kicks in February. I know that’s still out there a bit, but I’m already contemplating what my next phone will be.

The world is iPhone crazy, but I’m on Verizon, and it is not worth a provider change just for a phone. Exclusive deals are bad practice and anti-consumer. Fuck Apple and AT&T, they can keep their phone.

I’m also kind of interested in the Palm Pre, but again – exclusive deal, other provider. How the devil is it that Verizon is the biggest honking network but all the crappy bit players get the exclusive digs on the new product?

There have been rumors that either or both might come to Verizon in January… but today Moto has put out the new droid at VZW. I stopped and played. This thing rocks. Big, bright screen, fast and responsive live scrolling in Google Maps, good sound quality, good signal strength, real web browsing, speech-to-text voice searching in Google…

Holy Crap. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a new front runner for Next Phone.
