Sorry but ANY device can be broken into - WM, BB, Symbian, Andriod, iPhone, Palm, etc... if someone has physical possession of it. And I'll grant that not so long ago is was not possible to remotely wipe an iPhone on an enterprise server like one could with a BB, and now that is no longer the case. Hell I could remotely wipe my iPhone now as an end user - I can't do that with my BB nor could I have done that with my WM device - not as an end user. Of course it all comes down to how fast one notices their device is missing and how much time they spend backtracking prior to reporting it to their IT people as being lost or stolen.
It's not so much an unfair attack as it is that the author is leaving out things... like the fact that any device can be hacked into given enough time and physical possession of it. I love it how some people jump up and down screaming about how the iPhone lacks this or that while at the same time glosses over any sort of similar defects or issues with their own choice of mobile device. Or chooses to troll the Apple forums waiting for a biased ZDNet blogger to lay down more anti-iPhone articles...
And no, I'm not an Apple fanboi, just a fan of the iPhone... most of the rest of their gear is good but sadly way overpriced.
