As much as I really like android, the growing threat of malware, which didn't exist for windows mobile is getting me to thinking. About just switching back to WM, since its basically a dead platform. That makes it essentially safe.
There actually are malware for windows mobile lol..just not too many...there is even spybot search and destroy for windows mobile lol...

That said the malware scare for Android is fairly over rated...you have to keep in mind a few things...

1) What version of Android does the malware target?

2) What type of malware is it? (by the report 50% of them were those that send premium text messages)

3) What method do you get the malware? So far I have not heard of any malware that you will get by just surfing the web..by the reports most malware was gotten by downloading software from chinese market places.


I mean end of the day its kind of simple, don't download any shady apps...
