I found this article today published on Beta News: http://betanews.com/2011/09/26/are-apple-products-really-more-secure/

It’s a pretty interesting read.  As most know Apple products are not virus-free, however they have nowhere near the same amount of viruses, worms and Trojans than have been created for the PC.  The simple explanation of this is that PCs are simply sold more often than Apple computers.  However, the author has cited an increasing trend in the sale of Apple computers and more importantly Apple devices like the iPhone.  He suggests that the iPhone provides the larger target for the bad guys as those sales are through the roof.  I would also argue that Android is also in the crosshairs, especially with a product whose source code can be found online.

Thoughts on the matter?
