I just wanted to jump in quickly; I won't really participate in this
android debate, but the key issue with apps created for android, is that
you can install any app on an android phone without going through
google play. And, google play store won't check your code for malware.
That means you can install malware on your phone, and that malware touch
other things on the phone just like windows malware can affect other
things, and reek havoc, not just on your phone, but by sending out fake
emails to people in your contact list, etc.
I am often frustrated by the extent that apple goes through to keep apps
clean and malware free, and as a developer, sometimes I have to jump
through hoops. But, as a consumer, I trust my iphone way more than I
trust the PCs or Macs on my desk.
