Programs on PCs were never vetted and could always come from anywhere.

That's not even close to being true.

When you bought from MS, Lotus, Adobe, etc. you were always getting QA tested and vetted software.

I believe apps shouldn't be vetted, and I also believe that if it comes to courts, there is no responsibility on G side for malicious apps.

Wrong, oh so wrong.

If Google is allowing the apps to go into their "marketplace" then Google needs to verify they aren't a virus or phishing app at a minimum.

If Google doesn't do this, all the individual cell phone carriers will have to do it because they're presenting this as a safe to use commercial product.

Besides, if you think G has no responsibility for malicious apps then why does G now block you from visiting malicious web pages since they obviously have no responsibility for web sites being hacked.

You can't have it both ways.
