Many of these weaknesses aren't inherent to smartphones. The same could be said of laptops or netbooks. For example, the article makes some thinly discussed remarks about connecting to networks by SSID only, and not checking for the "address". As I understand it, this is necessary to support enterprise AP configurations where an many APs share a single SSID. The entire Facebook segment is an HTTP vulnerability, not a smartphone vulnerability.<p>IMO, the piece would have been better had it educated users that the danger doesn't apply only to smartphones, but to their laptops and netbooks as well.
