Of course not, but then again why worry about it?

because someone - like me :-) - might just be using his/her lovely n800 for business usage. I have learnt - the hard way- to become security conscious.

Well, if you work for a company with a real information assurance policy, then they wouldn't allow you to use the N800 for any "business purposes" whatsoever.
But the key is to recognize the device can be vulnerable and harden your network perimeter.

Following your reasoning, I ll assume no corporation will let their employees use an Iphone or purchase a fleet of Iphones for corporate usage. Right?
That will eat away some market potential.

No intelligent corporation will. Right now the iPhone is all but worthless for anything close to real business work.
