    Since the android app store currently has about 700,000 apps in it, this study seems to be a bit lacking in coverage. Plus, their criteria for a “suspicious” app seems to cover a wide range of valid apps. How does my route tracker, for example, track my route without access to gps data?

      Yeah, average user is better with Apple. Hate to admit it, but their system is more or less just ‘work’. Android on the other hand, is a great system to tweak and play with, if you know your way around.

    iOS is more secure but costly. Android have most of the apps Like Angry birds in almost full version, except that part in which you have the Ads. I.M.O.
