I don't really know what to say about this article. Android has that many security risks? I had no idea.
But in reality, what do people do with their android phones? Access vaults with secure information inside? I haven't seen anything like this. People use their android phones for casual conversations and playing games. Occasionally one will use their android phone for productivity apps, like spreadsheets and such, but how often?
Android, being open source, is bound to have some issues, yes. But it runs very well considering the number of developers who try to put their ideas into it.
Another thing, it has a lower defect density than the industry average. Not just lower, but less than half of the average. That's also pretty impressive considering the Android OS is less than two years old. Companies like Apple and RIM that have been on the scene for years have the same problems. But why haven’t they shown up in the media? That’s what I want to know.
