Apple Exec Takes Shot At Android Via Twitter….. Not A Good Idea

Phil Schiller who is the top marketing exec at Apple seems to have taken on Steve Jobs hate of the Android platform. He posted a Tweet yesterday linking to F-Secure Labs’ latest quarterly Mobile Threat report [Warning: PDF] which speaks to marware on the Android platform getting worse and not better. Clearly he’s got a point to prove. But I would not be so smug if I were him as he should look at the security of iOS. If you recall iPhones have a bug where their lock screens bypassed and there’s no fix as of yet. I’d like to think that fixing that bug is a higher priority than dishing dirt. But I guess that’s not how things work at 1 Infinite Loop.

Also, if I were him, I’d remember that saying about throwing stones in glass houses. Because this may come back to bite him.
