Which is the most secure smartphone? Not the iPhone it appears...

Forgiven, but wrong; despite the claims from Apple that iOS is designed with advanced security technologies built in rather than bolted on. If you go by the results of the annual PWN2OWN hacking competition which was held in Tokyo last week, then iOS fell behind Android and to add to the jaw-dropping amongst many pundits Android in turn fell behind Windows Phone which proved the hardest to hack platform of all.
