Download your programs directly from the developer. A reminder here is that with Android, you have a choice. The Apple, you have a chain around your neck.

To my eyes it’s confirmation that Google’s made the decision that Android is not going to compete for Enterprise/Professional/Serious businesses.
I’m not entirely surprised – I haven’t met a single security savvy person who runs a banking app on their Android.
Microsoft must be feeling as Pepsi did when Coke made their Classic mistake…

very interesting:

8.4 When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and Google have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst these Terms have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of paragraph 11.6 shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.

Are they going to make arrangements for that? I avoid crApple because of their walled garden so I will be damned if I am going to sign on to any other!

And in the future they could require the latest operating system in order to force carriers to update devices.
