<i>As a developer for Android devices, i must say this article makes me really sad. How can a developer be satisfied with limitations and just put the "but it's how it is to be more secure" stamp on it.</i><p>I find it ironic that an Android developer is saying this.  Android only has what, 256MB of available disk space for 3rd party programs?  That is extremely limiting for all kinds of useful apps that might need a local database, or for large apps like games.<p>Also, the Android marketplace has similar limitations to the App store, but none of the safety.  Google can and will pull your app if it doesn't like it, however, their post-release approval process lets malicious apps get through.  There's already been one phishing app released.  It seems like Google has all of the bad features of an open PC (viruses, worms, malware) and all of the bad features of a sandbox (complete control over code execution, unless you root your device).
