Well, not exactly, "jailbreaking" is about user gaining access to a phone, not applications. I don't know the details (I don't own iPhone or Android device, and N900 comes with root access almost out-of-box), but I believe pure jailbreaking shouldn't hurt OS security mechanisms too much. I may be wrong, though. However, you have a point: classic "dancing bunnies" problem[1] is certainly out there. Promise average user nice things, ask him to do some cryptic actions, and he'll happily follow your instructions without really understanding any consequences.
