AT&T Ironing Out Kinks for Off-Market Apps

So far, only allowing Market apps hasn't been a successful measure in reducing the presence of malware on Android phones since they are so easily accepted into the Market.

Amazon, on the other hand, at least has an approval process for their Market. Maybe AT&T should make Amazon the official and block the official Market.

😡 It's not like they or anybody blocks "non-trusted" software on net books or PCs. These days android phones are just small PCs. It has always been the users job to protect their own device or PC and watch what they do and don't put on it. If you buy a laptop and Best Buy and then you get some virus on it, YOU pay to have it fixed if you don't have the skills to fix it yourself!! At&t WE DON'T NEED YOU TO PROTECT US!!!! YOU WILL NEVER STOP THE ROOTING OF PHONES IF YOU DON'T WISE UP!!

What business is it AT&T's to decide which App markets are available on the phone. Carriers and Manufacturers need to stick to their roles:

Carriers need to worry about providing service and manufacturers need to worry about providing devices. Sure, they can offer their own software solutions, such as how they have Apps that let you check your usage and the such. But, stay out of the decision of what software is available on what device!
