Thanks for the reply!

The concern comes from using Banking apps, and such sensitive information (login ID/pwd).

How different is android surfing compared to any WiFi surfing?

Where do you draw the line?

For instance, I don't use sensitive info on any WiFi

Bottom line: am little hazy/confused on the security of cell phones (DROID), any loose ends I have to really worry about ? "hacks/eaves dropping" to worry about..

Bear with my basic questions
