They are releasing them, but not quite as fast as M$, but do have (5) so far this year (most averaging 5-10 mb):

Wasn't trying to start the OS War again, was only noting that a lot of times it is a combination of apps and OS, not just apps. If the OS underneath is flawed, any app sitting on top of it is as well (sim to the php flaws a while back).
I've commented before, I believe the reason most "hackers" do not go after other non-Win boxes is because they are for the most part script kiddies who download their goodies and see what damage they can do. Anyone truly skilled enogh to break into a *nix box is not going to waste their time on the iBook (through both the router and software firewalls).
