"... application stores are fast becoming the prime delivery mechanism for infected applications..."

I completely disagree with that statement. People downloading pirated or fake APKs from the web is the prime delivery mechanism for infected applications.

They cite lax submission process, lack of code signing, and review process.

Sure it's a bit-self serving, but I don't imagine they're that far off in their assessment.
