seems between this and the Brick.psp were entering into a new realm of malicious handheld destruction.
hell even computers can be cleaned, but these progs go right for the bios and render them utterly useless, if you cant restatrt it then you cant reflash them.
 what is it about consoles that make their bios so much exposed then PC's

Its just as easy to flash your PC bios with a bad image.  I'd say its just that stupid people feel more secure with their handheld and are more willing to run whatever they find on it.
