I'd like to extend this thread to other Android devices. (don't
laugh, Brenda) What about tablets? I would imagine the same advice re
applet access/trust is equally valid, but your point about OS updates
is something I hadn't considered. Do Android updates work the same as
Win updates?
Also, do the tablets using Jelly Bean also sandbox applications?
And finally, are there any antivirus protections for these environments?
Partly I'm asking this for me, but also to help out members in our
computer club. We have most of them convinced about AV now, working
on doing backups, but we are seeing more mobile devices in the group
and I need to understand this better for them as well as myself
because I'm thinking about adding one to my collection.
Thanks!

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how
do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
