Haven't they seen the Samsung commercials?

Please elaborate on that. What malware has come about for iOS?
It is amazing that so many people are in line for this phone, with all of the clones available in China, and the overall cost of the device over there.
::EDIT::
just noticed the free option available with some plans.
Anyone ever see a line like that for an Android phone outside a Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T store? Just curious.
Better question, Does anyone care but a few fringe Apple Worshipers on MR?
If you need someone to explain to you why apple would produce long lines for a release(Once per year) vs a typical android phone(Multiple Phones, Multiple times)... you shoulnt be talking tech industry in the first place.
Android is a target for malware hackers like Windows is.
No, people are willing to stand in line for Apple computers and iOS devices due to robust OS, outstanding security, and the added bonus of unsurpassed design and aesthetics.
Oh wow, look at this! Non Apple biased sources claim iOS is more secure than Android - including one from PC World.
Looks like Windows and Android sharing love for malware - LOL!!

Tell me why it matters that a line, for a phone, is long?
Because they aren't there for concert tickets.

U-Village Microsoft Store Turns Out Huge Crowd (of Freeloaders) for Grand Opening

The attendees answers to the reporter are hilarious. Almost as funny as Ballmer "coming full guns" at the iPad.
Because their security is horse manure!!!
Not really. Macs get viruses and malware too.
But it's not "The Absolute King!"
" it’s important to know that those firms are generally comparing the number of threats faced by Android and other mobile operating systems to the those faced by Windows — which is the absolute king of malware, assaulted by hundreds and even thousands of new trojans, worms, exploits, and variants every day."

It's because Windows has a huge marketshare. That's why they have more viruses than Mac. If Mac had more marketshare, they'd get more viruses. Same with Android. Since it has a huge marketshare.

Wasn't this phone supposed to be a disappointment/letdown/anticlimactic event?
Hacker are wasting their time(for now) trying to target OSX and *nix users. They know that for the most part they have more success on windows and its users.
No it's because hackers know how extremely difficult it is to compromise a*nix OS. It's bullet-proof from the standpoint of a virus or trojan, they simply won't execute in a app sandboxed environment. The only thing you can do to Mac users is phishing schemes to get them to give up personal data. But that has to do with dumb users and Apple is already working on anti-phishing algorithms to defeat these attackers.

You just proved you have no idea what you are talking about..
So are you saying that a *nix system cannot be compromised? In any way?
