Android: With popularity comes trouble

The Android mobile platform has spread far and wide. Its the most common mobile platform now with upto 300K new handsets added each day around the world.

Its now time bot-nets, Trojans and viruses are created for this platform. Sure as expected, today there are reports of a Virus spreading in China for Android devices. Read more here.

Its times like these that I feel secure using a relatively unknown mobile platform like Samsung Bada! You may not get millions of apps but no one wants to waste time creating a virus for this.
