The invisible threat from mobile devices

With the increasing convergence of phone and network aware devices, come new and often unnoticed threats. Features such as built-in cameras, wireless networking, Bluetooth, calendars, phone books, all present their own particular problems, and associated risks. My Take: Some claim that mobile devices are developed with less security in mind than any desktop OS ever was and that this will bite back users in a few years when the "mobile platform" becomes less diverse and instead more compatible.
