Opinion: First, the iPhone root password was broken. OK, it happens. But now it seems that all applications run on the iPhone as root. Can you say biggest security blunder of the 21st century to date?
It kills me to say this, but even Microsoft wouldn't have made a blunder as big as this one. If this root problem does exist, and it sure looks like it from what I can tell, Apple has to fix it right now. It's a race between the crackers and Apple, and it looks to me like the crackers are way ahead at this point.
