Smartphone security is a topic I've had an interest in for several years.
It doesn't help that for my entire IT Security career I've worked for a major cell phone company. During that time, I've seen the emergence of smartphones. I had one of the early Windows-based phones, which was nice (tho limited). Later I moved to an Android phone, which was even better. (so far I've gone thru 3 Android phones)
And I've watching how things have changed. Early on at the company, we saw our executives make use of smartphones not just as a companion item (like the early PDAs), but almost as a replacement for their desktop/laptop computer.
