When I say "odd reasons" it's not to offend you, but due to personal
experiences. Even my own father (who has an iPhone as recommended by
me) can't quite figure iTunes out and is annoyed at how often it
crashes and really just wants to be able to mount it as a portable
drive. Perhaps files are old school, but they are very much still in
use!

> How does Google make sure the apps won't do something harmful?

They don't, at least not officially. It works by peer review, people
can complain about an application triggering a review. It seems to
work, in practice people only install the top apps with 3+ stars.
Google do need some kind of automatic virus/phishing filter as the
platform becomes more of a target and I am sure we'll see that.
