Flashback malware on iPhone?
 
Does the warning on the flashback trojan horse apply to iOS 4 on iphone if javascript is enabled? Warnings for OSX say to disable javascript to be more safe....

The iPhone and iOS are safe from the flashback trojan. The attack vector is Java and not javascript. While similar sounding, they are different products and not related to each other.

the warnings say to disable java, not javascript (they're different) and there is no java on an iphone.

iphones and ipads are very safe because all apps are sandboxed and codesigned and the browsers do not support plugins. even if you did download something, it can't do anything.
