But wait, there's more !

Vodafone HTC Magic shipped with Conficker, Mariposa malware
http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=5626

" Just when you thought you have taken care of all the possible malware
infection vectors, flawed quality assurance procedures once again
demonstrate the need for a transparent and systematic approach of
ensuring that digital devices are shipped malware-free.

Conficker, Mariposa and Lineage password stealing malware samples,
shipped with a recently purchased Vodafone HTC Magic smartphone. "

Hardmalware/softmalware/animalmalware ... next will be humanmalware
where an evil Doctor implants it when you're born so Big Brother can
track *every thing* you do. Ooga booga !!!
