    It's incorrect. Android do have higher malware

    Apple have much more stringent guidelines on submission to their App Store in comparison to Google Play who pretty much let anyone submit anything.
    Is that why malware is easy to release on Google Play then others?
    Do you know what other app store also let you release pretty much let anyone submit anything including malwar?

    Do you want to dicuss the numbers of malware on Android versus iOS or do you want to discuss the policies of the relevant stores for each OS? You're jumping from one to the other.

    I'm not versed in the internal policies of the various app stores so other than the biggest one in the world, the internet, I wouldn't know.

    You didn't answer my question... Out of curiosity what's your working involvment in all of this? I assume you work in this field and aren't just one of the many consumers brained washed by fanboy propaganda.

    would you not say both are linked?
    Much of the malware come via Google Play.
    Would you not agree if Google Play was to change the policy the numbers will go down?

    In your post you have made a statement
    comparison to GP (and others) who pretty much let anyone submit anything.
    What other app store have the same policy?
    Your comment sounds as you agree that malware is very easy to release on Google Play then others.
    Do you think Google Play policy is good?

    Sorry, I was waiting for you to answer the numerous questions that have been directed at yourself first.*





    *Not really, I just got tired of going around in circles while you bounce back and forth between the OS and delivery system. It would still be helpful if you answered the questions that have been directed at you over the various threads though.

    Apples ios isnt that secure (for developers) is it goodman: http://m.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/13/apple_ios_hack/

    The quote of the hacker even sounds like goodman.

    Apple as usual silent on the matter.

    Apple still haven't done anything about this security breach: http://news.techeye.net/security/apple-losing-battle-with-hacker

    Obviously apple don't care about security. Wonder what would happen if there was malware in the app store? Probobly try and ban the news about it rather than actually do anything about it!

    forget the poll, all you need to know is that apple has had is aarse kicked hard by Andriod, and will slowly die a painful death from ripping off its sad fanboys until they bleed and finally see the light.

    Oh and "thegoodman" talks more shiyte than a politician.

    What about Windows Phone, do you think tthat will die as well?
    What about all non android phones, die as well?

    Are you saying apart from android os all others will die?

    If your answer to two or more questions is YES, think about who is Android Fanboy.
