> Jailbroken phones not safe for banking

I'm a reasonably wired person as well as being highly unwired, but every 
time I see one of those advertisements extolling the wonders of a banking 
program for my phone my first thought is "That must make money for the 
bank somehow", the second thought is "How soon before there is a fee?" and 
my final thought is that there must be at least 399,999 more useful iPhone 
apps and 249,999 more useful Android apps. (I would say 11 more useful 
Windows Mobile apps, but that would be unkind.)
