While Droid09 is a bad mark for the Android platform and the Android Marketplace, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Google’s smartphone operating system is unsafe. It does, however, show that there’s room for improvement in the app screening process at the Android Marketplace.
Droid09 also serves as a reminder that other companies, including Apple, need to watch their app screening processes closely to help avoid similar apps from slipping through in the future.
