That might be true. I believe it was a Kapersky report but the conclusion was the surface area of attack on Android since it has so many app stores with different to no vetting. On a personal note, I find it a lot easier to install spam/ad/spy ware on android devices. I'm especially sorting out a lot of friends and family devices for it. Architectually, Android needs to learn to sandbox. I think Windows Phone and iOS do a reasonably good job at these and will obviously reduce the surface area of attacks. BlackBerry is great as long as you have BES. SEAndroid is worth looking at too.
