Wait, wait, wait...."Screaming Sexy Japanese Girls". There are people who actually download that kind of thing on their phone? :lol:

 

On a more serious note, that's what happen when there is no quality control on apps...Apple and MS might have closed platforms, but at least their markets should be safe.

I still much prefer Google's approach to app management. There's a downside to everything, and this is the downside of the Android Market's openness. I would take my Android device over an iPhone or Windows Phone device any day. :)

I think the best would be an "official" Marketplace with approved apps, *and* sideloading any app on the device at your own risk.

Unless I'm understanding you wrong, that's exactly the Android app situation already. There is an official Android Market app on all Android phones, but you also have the option of installing apps from other sources (such as those saved to your SD card and then installed manually).

After pulling the apps from the market, google is now remotely disabling them from users machines.

 

Hope it disables the right ones.

yup, Google, Apple and MS all have killswitch tech so if they have a malware (or just an app they don't like) they remotly remove it.

I haven't had a chance to play with an android phone that much yet. I have the iphone, and to be honest, my old blackberry storm was like the simple minded little brother compared to it. There is not too much that i want my iphone to do that it cant (maybe an led notification light, better notification system, and better battery life) do, and to be honest, don't see a need to peek at the android that much. I can text like crazy, surfing is fast, email is great, and the apps are awesome, i can pretty much do anything. I think the few minor things that it is missing are easily made up by all the things that it does do. So far, malware free. Also, since getting the iphone, ive already gotten my sons and daughters and myself! ipods, due to the fact that the iphone was so darn handy! And they absolutely love their ipod touches, but hey, the games, the apps, who couldn't love that stuff? So off topic i know, but I was playing on the phone and checking out the app store while reading this thread!
