I have used Kindle and ZenPad as well. But, Still you can use only these for high profile gaming or other things. If you are looking into serious security then better get something using Blackberry OS or Apple OS.
I guess an android phone with an OS closer to the PC versions would offer more security?
You see I am making up for a certain lack of knowledge with this theory that making it simple to install apps to the phones and tablets has left them more vulnerable to trojans and key loggers that would either need the help of a human,root access and an installer that would be easily detected and killed by an antivirus app?
I’m curious if you know anything about the new linux kernel for small devices that Torvalds has been bragging up over the last few months. I have been seeing a lot of hype from linux developers and Linus Torvalds himself, he talks like a man who has the world by the nuts.
Marshmallow was the last android distro i am aware of, and I dont hear any bragging about that OS in fact according to the download count, most people are sticking with what they have. This might be a smart one to avoid as it will likely not have much support from developers when there is a new kernel to play with.
If i look at getting a tablet I will definitely give the Blackberry and Apple a good look. i appreciate you sharing your knowledge friend!
