that this happened is a real shame. it demonstrates that google is not administering the market properly. is it not enough that the number of apps available in the market are several orders of magnitude less than the app store, and yet the app store manages to keep malware out ? i don't agree with apple's 'persona' in what they allow or disallow in the app store and on their hardware, but it has successfully kept their store free of malicious apps.
this is an absolute letdown from the perspective of a platform that is based off the linux kernel as an act of secure, solid and reliable phoning/computing.
apple has had exposed customers to exploits with gaping holes in it's software in the past. but let it get to this point i have not yet seen that happen.

... sue me. I do exercise caution, but stuff happens. As far as AV software goes, Kaspersky (on the PC) is tops in my personal and professional opinion (out of stuff that you can get from the store). I'm going to give it the 30 day trial and see how my phone is effected (for better or worse), then make the decision if i want to drop the money on it. I hate the price tag, but I enjoy the fact that I'm running Kaspersky (it has a lot of great features - yes that can be found else where, but again, this is a company I trust) - features like via a txt message sent to your phone (containing "your special code" can lock your phone, get the gps coords, etc.. etc..).
