I agree somewhat. And the last thing I'd be worried about is my camera getting a virus. Having had 5 Android phones in the family in the last 3 years, there's never once been a virus issue. I'd be more worried about a legitimate OS update changing or breaking a feature. I don't often takes pictures with my phone to begin with, but I find the in phone editing apps and in-camera editing that can now be done (like on the fly raw coonversions) to be of little value. I, for one, don't want to edit my images on a tiny 3" screen, in varied lighting conditions, not to mention if I'm out shooting I'd prefer to continue shooting than edit. The biggest possible advantage I see is the ability to upload to the web instantly and GPS, but even then, unless it's a simple 'Hey look at this', I prefer to edit/adjust before sharing.
