LOOKOUT Mobile Security dropping Blackberry

[Jude526]

I received an email telling me they will no longer be serving Blackberry users and giving 3 months notice of dropping RIM.
They are staying with Android. I had it on my BB and continued with my Incredible and my Thunderbolt. A good application and am glad they aren't dumping Android

And the Thunder rolls!

Well RIM's platform is just horrible.

I'm all about defense in depth (layered security) when it comes to computers, but not so sure about Android. I've looked at some of these security apps such as Lookout and more often than not their app permissions just don't sit well with me. I'm also concerned about how it may impact performance and/or battery life. Isn't the risk to Android already pretty low especially if you're NOT rooted, only use the Android Market for apps and are very cautious about app permissions and/or highly limit installed apps, browse wisely, and don't open spam e-mail or attachments, and have a PIN lock set on the phone itself? Anyway, I have a hard time justifying any security software at this point.

This is a safe application. Also if you lose your phone you can disable it. Extra protection. I have had this for over 4 years. Nothing wrong or unsafe about it. It does a lot for you.

And the Thunder rolls!
