I heard that the iPhone pretty much always runs in a root mode, hence the reason Apple didn't want people writing their own 3rd party apps willy nilly in order to prevent something like this from happening. There are probably certain stipulations that devs have to follow in order to create the 3rd party apps without them getting compromised, but I guess time will tell.
