If you are among the avid downloaders off apps from the Android Market, be warned. SMobile Systems of Ohio has bared that two-thirds of the Android apps are suspicious and fail to consider Android security mechanisms.

25 May 10 Google Nexus One Sales Model Justified
While everyone is still at odds on why Google scrapped most of the sales schemes for the Nexus One, it seems that it was all a business-related issue. Except for Vodafone, it seems the new business model concerning the Google Nexus One was made way before we even got the announcement that Google was halting sales for the Nexus One.
Depending on how you look at it, it looks like the new approach has raised some eyebrows. Then again, if the move was made on a business standpoint, perhaps Google may eventually benefit from it…if it works!
