Yeah. I think a lot of servers will be in trouble, but fewer consumers than the media makes it out to be. I have discovered:

Android doesn't use a shell at all.
iOS probably doesn't use a shell (but the article wasn't certain.)
OS X isn't affected unless you're running a web server.
Windows isn't affected.
Most routers don't use bash because it is too large to fit into their relatively small amount of flash memory. (D-Link has a statement saying none of their routers use bash.)

So it seems to me that Apache servers and 'nix users need updating but other consumers are for the most part okay, including mobile users.
