I don't buy it. Where is the negative publicity on android? It doesn't exist... There are apps that many people find offensive on the play store... just like there are movies on amazon that some people would find offensive... same thing..

The negative publicity on Android for bad taste or stupid/dangerous apps (remember "Send me to heaven"? the app that measured how high you threw your phone?) is probably swamped by the bad publicity from malware and spyware. The thing about the App store is so little bad news comes out of it that all the hysteria is over minor stuff (e.g. Apple accidentally banning Civil War games).
