Wikileaks Apps a Super-hit with Android Users

[Joanne98]

Even after Steve Jobs succeeded in plucking all the apples with the tag of Wikileaks from his apple orchard, still there is no stopping to the success of Android-bases Wikileaks apps which are becoming a huge hit among the Assange fans.

In all its best efforts to prove their loyalty towards the US government, Apple joined the elite list of the companies making efforts to mum the Wikileaks. This elite list already includes Amazon, Bank of America and MasterCard.

The astonishing reason which the employees of Apple are giving for removing the Wikileaks apps from their stores is that they are ‘endangering lives’.

But the Google, which is credited with the second-largest online mobile applications store, is acting too lenient and provides the user with around six applications in its web store which makes it too easy to get the ‘leaked’ US documents. You can also get an alert whenever a new cable is leaked as a feature in some applications.

2. I was thinking about getting an iPhone, but not any more

Not if Apple is deciding what content I can and can't see.

I'll look at the Android phones.

4. So, not only does Jobs enforce his own moralizing on iPhone users,

he's a toady for the establishment. Maybe the next 1984-style ad should feature the hammer flying through Jobs' visage instead. Which upstart company will get that honor?
