Todd Favorites on an iPhone can include all the executable code from
a web site on a page. Therefore it can it is like when you point to a
program in windows using the start menu and a program in windows
begins. No connection to the internet is necessary for this to work.
WinMo phones do not support this nor does windows IE on the desktop.

These are essentially little applets you can download and use for free
simply by book marking them or saving the link to the 'HOME' screen.

Now you can download an use executable code for a winmo phone as I
just saw a breaking bit of news about another windows trojan that
hijacks these devices.

McAfee has warned that they've discovered a new Windows Mobile trojan.
This time, the trojan, InfoJack Trojan, is actually in the wild and
capable of infecting unprotected Windows Mobile smartphones.

The InfoJack Trojan infects your Windows Mobile device when an
unsuspecting user downloads and installs an infected application, or
uses an infected memory card. The trojan disables Windows Mobile's
installation security by allowing unsigned applications to be
installed. This leaves the smartphone vulnerable to future infections.
Further, the trojan sends sensitive information back to the malware's
author - it jacks your info, hence the name. The InfoJack Trojan also
copies itself back into memory and the memory card, so that even if
the active trojan is deleted, there's a backup copy somewhere else.

InfoJack Trojan has been circulated through Chinese downloads of
Google Maps, applications for stock trading, and games.

So someone so cheap they picked up a Tilt instead of an iPhone to save
a few dollars may end up paying a lot more as the victim for having
his winmo phone being hijacked by a virulent Trojan.

Can you feel the pain of that unfortunate soul? BTW why are so many
attacking the windows platform anyway?

Or he can pay a lot more to buy the typical windows virus scanner
software from Norton or MacAfee. Such is life in the windows world,
even on their mobile phone platform!
