thankfully android is not mainstream yet, (and hopefully never will be).

at least de damage now is limited to the techno-geeks/nerds who knows how to handle cyber-attacks like this.
can u imagine if it's launch into the general population?

that's why for consumer phones, iphone and iOS system is perfect. even though the geeks will complain there is less "freedom" but majority of users are already delighted with the power of the iPhone.

while one person has brought up that app store has been compromised, but he/she failed (maybe on purpose) to highlight, is that once such attacks happen, the whole power of the apple engineers and technical specialists will react and plug de hole and save de day.

but for android??? what abt it???

for sure, more attacks like these will come. after all, it IS the battle of nits.

at least for Android, Google can "remotely" remove any dangerous apps on any android smartphone in this world :-)

seriously?!!! wow! i din know this.
so google can control de others ppl phone?

thankfully i do not use androids.  really got mother queen controlling from afar.

dun understand why u react this way? merely i was sharing my thoughts and contributing to this discussion?
if i have hurt ur feelings or self-esteem  in any way, let me know and i'll try to help u.

of course. pls read and try to understand b4 replying or else u will end up with rotten egg on ur face.

security cannot be guaranteed especially when it is in public domain.
but the way apple reacted with its full might and swiftness of lighting ensured that everythg's perfect again.

unfortunately, androidevelopers are like loose band of ragtag ragamuffins, without organized leadership.
just like headless chicken running around.
so it is difficult to respond properly like how apple does it so elegantly.

for better security pls install Lookout in your beloved Android Phone
