So the iPhone is too closed, and Android is too open.
In my opinion, they should have a quality assured Market, but keep the ability to load .apk files whenever you want (and also the ability for others to create their own marked).
Quality assurance on market should mainly be about maliciousness of applications.
It sounds stupid arguing for android to be more closed, but really Google is very slack with their Market.
- drivebyacct2 16y agoQA at Apple would not have stopped this. I'm not surprised that people fall for this BS. Apple would have caught this just like Apple would have caught a flashlight with a SOCKS tunnel right? If the App requests permission, wtf do you expect? I don't think Google even has an obligation to remove or crackdown on these types of apps.
- rodh257 16y agoevery app asks for permissions, thats the problem. If I didn't use apps that had permissions which could possibly be exploited I would have barely any apps. At the very least malicious apps need to be removed quickly, along with spam + scam apps.
