Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Well, of course there are no antimalware apps for IOS. Apple would have to allow this in both the App Store and the IOS SDK. This has no bearing on the underlying security of IOS though. The IOS ecosystem is more secure than Android's ecosystem, as I said in my original email, and there's no debate on this. For this reason, there isn't a need at the moment for antimalware software on IOS. This doesn't mean that the underlying IOS operating system is more secure than the underlying Android operating system. Malware has crept into the App Store, although to this point it hasn't stayed there long. Security vulnerabilities in IOS are exploited in order to jail break IOS. Apple has had to release security fixes for IOS. There is plenty of malware on jail broken iPhones. Antimalware software for Android phones is there to protect against malicious software you could put on your phone in various ways. The fact that this software exists, in no way indicates that the underlying OS is less secure, and in fact supports Android's commitment to security in their willingness to open up the Android SDK to allow for the scanning of malware. Malware authors go after Android and not IOS because it's more open, not because it's less secure. There are plenty of articles on the web that talk about how as an OS, IOS has more known security vulnerabilities in it than does Android. Here's just one such article http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2262231/apple-ios-had-more-security-vulnerabilities-than-android-in-2012 Since the IOS ecosystem is more secure than Android's, and since most people agree that the unjailbroken IOS ecosystem doesn't need any antimalware software, I think the debate as to how secure the underlying OS's are is academic and doesn't need to be hashed out on this list. The unsubstantiated statements made in this thread on how Android is less secure than IOS isn't going to change my opinion based on the security papers I've read, and I can't imagine pointing to any such research is going to change the mind of the die hard Apple purist who's convinced IOS can't be broken into.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
It's not. If you read all of the technical data and things going on, there are constant security problems with Android. The problem is the average user has no idea about them. We are a small minoirty as far as the fact that we read technical outlets and have knowledge of them. Other than two people I know, the others who use Android don't even know what open sriouce actually means, let alone that their cell phone is at risk like their Windows computers. Take Care John D.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
ANdroid security definitely isn't up to IPhone security. That's the price you pay for openness. However, you can get viper or ESET for your phone which helps. you also have full control over the permissions apps have and can choose not to install apps if you don't want them to have specific permissions. There's a bit of a trade off, but so far, what I've saved on app purchases on android vs my IOS device has made it well worth while.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Dah! I can't believe I forgot to mention dropbox. That's definitely accessible. I believe pandora is as well, but I'm not 100% sure since Tunein radio does everything I need. Gaming isn't my specialty either. I haven't seen it come up much on the eyes-free group either. That may be one area where IPhone apps are still ahead. There's a website for accessible android apps. www.androidaccess.net It's similar to applevis in that users can post accessibility ratings and reviews. Here's the entry for pandora. http://www.androidaccess.net/details.php?id=44 Best, Erik Burggraaf Follow my series of articles about setting up a small business through the ontario disability support program at http://www.erik-burggraaf.com/blog Ebony Consulting toll-free: 1-888-255-5194 or on the web at http://www.erik-burggraaf.com On 2013-05-22, at 1:02 PM, Traci wrote: > Well, that is good news! > > How about games?

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
IMHO, Android the OS is as secure as IOS the OS. With Apple though, you get quite a bit of extra security because access to the device is so limited. For example, you can only install apps from the App Store, and although malware has gotten into the App Store, it doesn't usually stay there for long. Android users need to be much more careful as to the apps they install than do iPhone users, just as Windows users need to practice some good common sense when downloading applications and content to their PC's. No, you don't need an application like iTunes to manage your content on an Android phone. With use of the cloud, you don't need iTunes much to manage your iPhone any more either.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Android, as of version 4.0, already includes a screen reader--Talk Back. Prior to that, Talk Back and Spiel were available as free and open source screen readers for Android. I'd agree I'd go with a solution that has access already built in, as long as it was affordable and met my needs. I'll never say never.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Yes, Mrs bought one of the prolific cheap Android tablets, offered it me to play with and buy off her already. JB4.1 and got Talkback on it, but cheap soon shows in how sluggish, not helped by not knowing the command structure beyond move finger and double tap. But too sluggish and soon gave it her back. She wants to offload so she can just have another Mini, we're iDevice fans through and through here now.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Android is different from IOS, so it has it's own set of strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn't say Android is the problem, but people may definitely prefer one model over the other. The same thing which gives Android it's advantages, openness, support of multiple handsets, and so on, is also what plays into some issues in the Android ecosystem, such as fragmentation and lags in updates. IMHO, it's a personal preference and not that one is a problem versus the other. BTW, at the moment there's less fracturing going on in the Android space then there has been, but this will lead to a different set of issues in the near future. With the news feeds I follow, Android malware is definitely not being under reported. I do skip over a lot of news articles though on how unfair Apple/Android reporting is to Apple, although I suspect this is more a sensitivity issue than fact. I also doubt Android or open source firmware is any less secure than IOS. I suspect what makes IOS more secure is the closed nature of the App Store and the limited paths you have to get apps onto your iPhone. Jail broken iPhones also have more reported cases of malware than unjailbroken iPhones. I also suspect common sense is your best defense against malware on Android, just as it is on Windows.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Hi, IDK, they are adding new feature but, most of them IOS had from the start. For example, navigating web pages by links, headings, etc. I think there comes a point where you don't really need to add more accessibility features, you just refine the ones you have. This in my opinion is where Apple is while, Android is still adding some essential accessibility features. And even then, not all devices running Android will have them. This makes more work for the blind consumer. This is actually one of my biggest gripes with the platform.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Regardless of how much Android accessibility evolves, it's still running on Android. That will always be the problem. As the Android market continues to fracture, there are more than a half dozen different active versions of the software and hardware longevity with that software is minimum, iOS will always have the advantage. I know far too many sighted people who have a variety of problems with their phones and their software that would keep me from every going the Android route, regardless of how much accessibility improves. Of course, there is the malware and security risks that plagues Android that seems to be under reported while the media likes to emphasize any slight issue with Apple. Open source may be preferred by some, but it opens up a serious can of worms from a personal security front that are hardly written about in the mainstream. Apple is Far more secure, and their software is consistent across devices and there is far more backwards compatibility than Android, especially for apps. Take Care John D.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
Hello, That is definitely not the case. Android is very accessible to blind and low vision users. In my opinion, its a bit behind as far as accessibility goes compared to IOS but, not by much. I would even venture to say, they might even be on par in a year or so. I do prefer IOS at this point though. From a blind perspective, its just more refined. JMO.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software
A client showed me her android the other day using Talkback and it seemed more accessible than I ever saw before. However, I would not say it is nearly as accessible as the iPhone. And you still need to be a bit of a techie to make it work, which she is. Of course I am biased in favor of the iPhone. You may want to find an Android list to get a perspective that is more biased toward the Android.
