While I don' t really like Apple's idea of a "blacklist" to remove only "harmful" apps (I keep waiting for Netshare to disappear off my phone...), does anyone review Android software prior to it being released to the public? If not, how do you prevent malware, however defined, from being sent out over Android and ruining the platform? I haven't seen any repository of "acceptable" apps, and I don't think Google wants the job. If I was a terrorist, a cyber criminal, or just a hacker, the thought of making an app do two things while only advertised to do one would be hard to resist if there is nobody reviewing the apps or what they do... Am I concerned over nothing? While I like competition, Android worries me to some extent because of a lack of control over the apps.
