How Google allowed this, shows their vetting of apps is piss poor.

For those who do not know, Marshall Honorof has worked and may still work for Apple. He writes for Apple and almost ALL his articles are biased. He also owns Apple stock.

So he created this story? Did he also create the 95% smartphone malware apps that effect Android devices?

lol....how do you like me now...google mobile OS is a joke when it comes to security...the funny thing is that they pay for people to find bugs and still does not help....google really needs to wake up

And that's why you should not trust Android. 95% of the apps are malware and viruses, have fun using anti-virus on your phones.

This has nothing to do with the OS itself, but rather the process that Google has of approving apps. There should be no way for someone to post an e-banking app, if they are not the bank ... As with most security issues, it's a Human problem, not a Software one.

@SamsChoice - That's a funny assertion to make, given that I a) have demonstrably never worked for Apple and b) don't own any Apple products. I assume you have some evidence to back up this extraordinary claim?
