I too am comparing security in architectures… And while I haven't had a chance to evaluate the changes in Honeycomb/ICS, as recently as July Symantec felt that Android was still playing catchup… When it comes to implementing security features, iOS again comes out on top, meriting a B-minus on Nachenberg's 0-4 scale vs. a solid C for Android. While Android's Java-based runtime environment provides superior application isolation, its weaker access control policies, nonexistent (until the tablet-based Honeycomb release) data encryption, and ineffective application validation scheme render it far more vulnerable to malware exploits. symantec.com No need to pull a Godwin.
