Mobile Security – What mobile developers don’t tell you!

 Ever since 2007, when the first iPhone was released, a number of companies have come up with different operating systems but Android and iPhone surely are the strongest two. Android being open source, has been used by many major companies to develop their own version of the OS.

The number of smartphone users have gone up drastically especially in the last couple of years. Hundred of thousands Android device are activated every day and Apple has been surely the strongest smart phone competitor, the king so to say but was dethroned this year by Samsung or rather Android devices.
