SMobile Predicts Spike in Mobile Viruses Once Google Phone Hits the Market
According to SMobile Systems, the launch of Google Phone platform will be among the most positive transformational moments in mobile communications history by further merging computers with mobile devices. But while millions of people will now be able to 'compute on the run,' those same consumers will be a high-value target for hackers, spammers and others intent on hacking the new phones.

"Its Linux-based operating system will quickly enable hackers to explore and eventually exploit any security holes in the core Google software as well as third party software"
complete FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).
So I'm guessing you are in favor of closed source (i.e. Windows Mobile)
The fact is, what typically gets refered to as a "computer virus" is in all actuality a "Windows Virus". Windows is closed source yet has managed to attract the lion's share of viruses. Of course there will be "Windows has greater market share, therfore more malicious attacks" rhetoric but the real reason is that Microsoft is just now catching up to yesterday's technology (Unix and Unix derived OSs).
