Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Mobile OS?

Lexta writes "So I'm contemplating my next smartphone purchase, and I've been a little put off by all of the security exploits posted on Slashdot over the last few months, particularly for Android. So, what's the most secure stock standard (not jailbroken) mobile OS?"

Thousands of years and it's never been broken.

No, what he means is that it hasn't been put to the test yet. The argument "there are no exploits yet so it is more secure" is a flawed one because it doesn't look at the big picture. Macs also claimed they were more secure than PC's - they weren't. Windows architecture is actually more secure than the macs.
