Two stories I want to comment on:
FatSkunk software-based attestation as a solution to mobile malware. Article by the German Technology Review. They promise a lot. I don't think this will work as

from some trusted website - nothing to wonder about.
Just found another mobile security talk that will be held at CanSecWest:
