My company, Mocana, just announced a security SDK for Google’s Android platform so that developers can build robust encryption, authentication, VPN, antivirus and antimalware features into Android Handsets. If interested, there’s more here about NanoPhone: http://mocana.com/NanoPhone-Android.html. Thanks for your indulgence.

Microsoft, Apple, Google, AOL, they have all had major flubs after release. The only thing I was trying to express in my comments is that it is not fair to pick on Google. Everyone has had their flaws, even the almighty Apple with the iPhone. There were serious bugs when 1.0 was released. <em>Matthew R.

At the end of the day, the consumer will voice their view with their wallet. @iPwner, I guess the answer is yes, others like Microsoft do it regularly then shut the stable door later with patches.

So this doesn't come to me me as a major "awe", nothing would come out absolutely perfect. Very informative article though, thank you :-) Wow, well with every new product there are flaws in the first weeks of it’s production, this called “the window period”, which is the time a product is tested within the market by end users.

I am not one of those open source advocates, however there are benefits to this platform being open. We are already seeing some of the troubles with such a close system with the iPhone. Limited applications allowed to be published, slow delays to release critical updates, slow updates to necessary firmwares. Yes, but some would say that this is better than a closed system.
