Sorry Bruizer but this is exactly how it happened:

http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/blog/2010/02/15/pwn2own-2010

Here are the results, in order:

1.PWNED! Vincenzo Iozzo and Ralf Philipp Weinmann - iPhone
2.PWNED! Charlie Miller - Safari
3.Nils - Safari (Prize Claimed)

4.PWNED! Peter Vreugdenhil - Internet Explorer 8
5.MemACCT - Internet Explorer 8 (Prize Claimed)

6.Anonymous - Nokia
7.Anonymous - iPhone (Prize already won)
8.PWNED! Nils - Firefox
Competition Results (still in progress)

Vincenzo Iozzo and Ralf Philipp Weinmann succeeded in exploiting the iPhone in the first time slot. They exploited a 0day Safari vulnerability with a payload which retrieved the text messages from the device.

As the luck of the draw would have it Nils on Safari, MemACCT on IE 8 and Anonymous on iPhone lost their time slots as the prizes had already been claimed. Their vulnerabilities are still eligible for submission through the Zero Day Initiative.

Incredible the FUD+BS Apple zealots spew... But it only works on imbeciles.

Like you say Bruizer: "Yep, lowest hanging fruit did win".
