I guess this is the start of the malware arms race, then? I actually already have Lookout installed on my Android phone, that scans every app I install (though I'm actually not sure what the scanning criteria are).
Isn't it really moot, though, considering the web exploits? I mean: what is there that you can get with this Android exploit, that you wouldn't be able to with the iOS web exploit?

The difference is that these apps were downloaded thousands of times before being removed. Getting thousands of people to go to your malicious website is probably much harder.
