Re: Google Play immune?
the "rigorous testing" has always puzzled me more than that. Apps are apps and determining what is malware and what is the normal functioning of the app is a very fine line. Reading some phone information and transferring it via the Internet is hardly an unusual scenario for any app.
It's not like Apple have a crack team of security experts decompiling the code. The apps are being checked for basic functionality, carefully checked to ensure market rules are followed and Apple gets their cut and run through an automated scanner to show anything "dodgy". That "dodgy" detector can't be the hardest thing to avoid especially if you aren't using off the shelf malware libraries.
