I understand what you're saying, sieghard. I do not think there is as much difference security wise between the platforms as there used to be. Google is getting better about security. If you don't route your device, and don't get apps from places that are not the play store, your chances of getting a virus are much less. I still think it is more than iOS. But I'm not sure why that would be a problem for Apple to let us have thumb drives that we can actually use for expand storage and access like you can drive on your Mac, four instance.
