Comments on tablet/smartphone security

My friends - and competitors - at www.watchcom.no - has published a report on tablet security (Warning: Norwegian!), evaluating 3 different tablets. Conclusion? iPad2 as the winner with the best out-of-the-box security features. While I do agree on the conclusion, Norwegian media has given this report a lot of coverage that I need to comment on. "Out-of-the-box" security, or default security parameters, are *rarely* to be considered "good enough" in most cases.
