I mean, nobody here believes in security-through-obscurity any more do we? Windows phone and Blackbery, are perceived as secure, and are certainly security audited by their vendors. However, WebOS could actually be a lot less code to go through, and thus easier to audit than Android. Android has the disadvantage of being a target of opportunity, due to its commercial success. WebOS is basically dead, and there is no currently shipping hardware that is likely to keep shipping much longer, and no new devices planned. It's... a security-lovers dream platform. (Sarcasm only slightly intentional here.)
