I would actually argue that allowing power users to have root ultimately makes for a more secure application platform. Its pretty much inevitable that it will happen eventually by one means or another, but making it available up front ensures that anyone who *really* needs security takes the fact that the device cannot be trusted to enforce anything into account from the start of their application design. This is much better than believing it will prevent access to certain directories and finding out once nieve developer's mission critical client server app is deployed that it doesnt.
Incidentally, in this age of early termination fees, I cant see the point in sim locking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
