Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Mobile OS?

Posted by timothy on from the much-more-secure-before-out-of-the-box dept.

Lexta writes "So I'm contemplating my next smartphone purchase, and I've been a little put off by all of the security exploits posted on Slashdot over the last few months, particularly for Android. So, what's the most secure stock standard (not jailbroken) mobile OS?"

    This is true for the same reasons that a decade ago Mac OSX was considered more secure than Windows. Its a function of install base. As soon as Windows Phone has 100's of million of users exploits will be published.

    You mean Linux itself isn't better security wise either, it's just that the (desktop) market share is so low?
