To my knowledge, there are no known viruses for the iPhone which is a mini version of OSX, which is pretty bullet-proof. Exploits? Yes. But don't worry.

You're pretty safe with the iPhone. The more serious problems have been fixed, and as stated above, it's operating system is OS X, which is very hard to get into.

Give it time. There will be a market for this sort of thing eventually.
