Bam...totally agree some apps totally do that i find yahoo mail make my system a bit slow but i need it....

Also you cant blaim the way a pda works today offered by a specific OS whether google, apple, or windows...its part of that Network....or network web...those machines running those OSs to get the optimal usage out of that machine...aka apps, games, you have to be connected to apps and the developers....and its something that is engrained into optimisize a Personal Computing device.

I only have dealt with google because i find my pda should be like my PC and not all bogged down by restrictions....simplicity and freedom and art always trumps complication, restriction, and conformity...in a HEALTHY SOCIETY!#!

Android is more or less permission based and you have to grant permission in order for the app to install and run. The permissions are what keeps you safe from apps just running wild and doing whatever with your phone services. Permissions look as if it's hardwired into Android OS so the app must be given permission, so if you didn't agree to it then the app can't use what it was not permitted to. Sandboxing as Google calls it, to play in that box over there, you need permission from the user to be allowed access to it. Unlike PC OS which doesn't tell you exactly what a program is allowed to access, just grants pretty much full access to your sensitive data unbeknownst to you. So if you didn't read what permissions the app you just downloaded needs and allowed it, you're at fault. The end user has to bear some sort of responsibility to what he downloads on his end.

you're right tho apple doesnt need malware on their apps, they just need to submit $1000 dollar "gem apps" (that do nothing) that apple users will be stupid enough to buy

nice try tho

It could be better tho but glad they are using a method to make the market even more safe. Now even more enterprise might be interested in Android since the market is even more safe.

Yeah It feels good knowing no one is treating you like a kindergarten on a boot camp.
