[NTLK] (no subject) -hmmm who ate the subject?

[Forrest]

Perhaps it's wise to be careful when choosing Android apps.

While I'm a huge fan of open source, intellectual freedom and options, there's a lot to be said for sandboxing. I don't care about apps I'm not "allowed" to have, and I don't have to worry (as much) ;) about malware.

Not meant to start a discussion over "which is better"...certainly, none of that. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages.

Just sayin'.

Thanks,
--Forrest
