Symantec on Apples iPhone

Today I read that Symantec are saying that locking out competitors from Apple's iPhone is the key to keeping it secure (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/?news/news_story.php?id=102053).

Interestingly, this is the same firm that has publically castigated Microsoft for locking competitors out of it's new Vista operating system's kernel.

"If Microsoft wants to make Vista more secure, it should provide equal access to the platform that its own developers have to ensure that security vendors can continue to innovate on the platform, and to ensure that consumers and OEMs can continue to choose the best security solutions for the platform." (Symantec Security Response 2006/08 Weblog)

Perhaps this is due to Symantec not producing software protecting phones, and therefore not having to watch there business dissapearing before there very eyes?

We can but speculate.
