Default Mobile Phone Virus Surfaces in US
http://www.betanews.com/article/Mobile_Phone_Virus_Surfaces_in_US/1109005073

"The world's first virus that specifically targets mobile phones has made an appearance in the United States. Called Cabir, the virus initially appeared in the Philippines about eight months ago. Since then, it has spread to twelve countries and could eventually threaten a significant portion of the 1.5 billion cell phone users worldwide."

We have talked about this here before and although this one isn't specifically a smartphone problem it is a warning shot. The use of Bluetooth to spread it is important. Being in airports all the time I find so many devices with Bluetooth just wide open that I could have sent a file to.
