Downloading an app from iTunes doesn't automagically mean it's secure. A developer last year wrote an app for the express purpose of showing how weak Apple's certification process was. The flaw was found when the developer himself informed Apple of the security risk as they were oblivious several months later - and so were the people who downloaded it. Apple's response was to ban him.
Ultimately, I don't have or do anything on my phone that I would be concerned that someone else could access.. and I would never do *anything* financial on my phone.
