As for the why would anyone bother with WM devices, the singular (not to be confused with Cingular) question would be, "I wonder if I can..?" And once they can, everyone can...
The point though Deb is that almost all attacks have been for financical gain over the past four yeafs. Almost all attacks form part of the botnet cycle to gather information from systems. The fact remains that exploits like GDI rely on a feaure-rich browser and enough bandwidth to download the payload. Neither of which is prevalent in WM devices and the market share of WM is miniscule compared to all other smartphones.
