there is no point to concede. you have no idea what information is on someone's computer, cell phone or stone tablet. nor do you have any idea on the value of that information. i could store information worth millions on a post-it note just as easily as in my ipad.

the way things stand now, the android landscape is not as secure as apple's walled garden. if you like the protection apple provides, then you use their approved apps. if you want "freedom" then you take the risks that go with that freedom. the sad thing is that 9 out of 10 people have no idea how to protect themselves from malicious apps like the one that data mined android phones. heck. most people don't know how to use virus protection on their desktops, and you expect them to protect their phones?

if you don't mind handing over every contact on your phone, along with all other personal data, then that's your right, but there are others who place just as high a value on the data on their phone as they do their desktop, or more. again, it's not for you to tell me what my data is worth.

if you have to resort to personal attacks to try and prove your argument then you've already lost.

please, go back to development, you're much better at programming.
