1) Mandatory open, reviewable, and debuggable source code versus Google's enabling and supporting of black-box DRM-supported proprietary binaries
2) Focus on repository QA/Testing versus Google's (inferrable and obvious) managerial push for throughput counts to build up a large number of apps in the marketplace
3) Shameless (and sometimes harsh) provision of user awareness, support, and higher expectations versus treatment of users like a herd of animals with only the lowest common denominator of expectations
4) Hashing and signing diligence and enforcement versus ... well let's just say I expected them to do a better job at this considering they're....you know...a company with the smartest geeks in technology... ... ...running an entire open-source project site... ... ...looking after more personal information than any Government... ... ...oh yeah... ... ...Google!!
I will have a followup post to go over these in detail and explain my rationale for these 4 points but in the meantime I recommend the install any of Symantic, Trend Micro, Sophos, AegisLab, or Lookout antivirus/malware scanners for your Android device. These should, until the Android Police come up with a community-developer and politically-neutral tool, should suffice to remove any less-than-welcome software.
Finally, Paul's list failed to include a list of apps delivering these infections and since this was something of interest to me I decided to compile a list myself. Keep in mind that several of the apps in this list have legitimate, uninfected counterparts and were simply infected and approved by Google for the Android marketplace (something which has me concerned about Google's priorities, but I digress). Here is the list which if you've installed apps from I would highly recommend a scan for infections:
