A decent chunk of computer security work seems to be around finding these same exploits in new devices, since we haven't convinced ourselves to stop reinventing and selling new connectivity devices :)
i.e. - it's not a new technique, but a new instance of the problem, and that makes it worthwhile (especially for something widely used in private environments) to explore and expose.
It'd be nice if we could reach some kind of device/phone capability plateau and reduce consumption of new equipment. And ideally settle on a small set of software to use on those, which could be hardened and made reliable over time.
