falling behind

I do recall Apple trying to say that Android was so unsecured and more at risk to these security threats than Apple at one point in time.

Luckily for BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile users there is an app called Lookout to take care of this.

Antivirus

Block viruses & malware

Scans every app downloaded

Backup

Contacts, photos, call history

Access data online

Phone Finder

Locate phone on map

Activate alarm to find it

I wonder if Apple won’t allow this one through their walled garden for apps. You know, cause they are so “secure” and what have you.

I would be interested in seeing the source of Apple saying Android was insecure and how it relates. Apple focuses on preventing bad apps from getting on the phone in the first place rather than create the demand for software developers to create apps to pickup the slack. As for anti-virus specifically, both McAfee and AVG have showed interest in bring their products to the iphone.

I hate seeing iPhone and Android compared all the time when there are more differences and intentions between them. Having one phone and putting down the other phone just proves that they are different and you are satisfied with what you have. Move on. At least I know that Apple would rather focus on innovating then spend time comparing.

beginning game development

I think my tools for developing will be C++ using Visual Studio Express, OpenGL, and GLUT. I have found two websites that I will look at to start experimenting, http://nehe.gamedev.net/ and http://www.videotutorialsrock.com/. My first goals are to figure out creating shapes, lighting, coloring/textures, key mapping, movement, collision detection, and simple physics/gravity. Yes I know it is a lot but I think I learn them by simple examples and then tailor them for my purposes. I know that I am new to C++ but I feel that I know logic and object oriented programming enough from PHP that the transition will be better than not knowing it at all.
