Q. What I mean to ask is, how come people say that Android tablets like Samsung Galaxy are more likely to get virus or malware than an Apple tablet?
A. It is somewhat of a myth to think that there are no malware issues on the iPad. Of course, compared to Android tablets, iPad viruses are almost non-existent but they do exist (mostly as malware apps) and can be dangerous if your iPad is jailbroken. The nature of security on Apple vs Android is about perspective as much it is about technology.

What makes the iPad different is that it has been built from the ground up to be a closed-OS tablet which makes it more secure than Samsung Galaxy and other Android tablets. iPad apps too need to be digitally signed and can be downloaded only from the App Store.
They also run in their own space (think of the "sandboxie" program in Windows which separates specific program operations from the main OS. iPad has that from the start).
In terms of security, I've found iPad and Amazon Kindle Fire to be relatively secure tablet devices.

I want to buy a smartphone that isnt a blackberry?
Q. I have the blackberry bold 9700 right now. i want a touch phone like an android or iphone. im stuck between three phones. The iphone 3gs, samsung galaxy s II i997, and samsung galaxy s II i777. pleas help me decide which is best. im leaning more towards android.
A. The Galaxy S II is the i777, the i997 is the Samsung Infuse.
Here's a comaprison between the Galaxy S II and the Infuse: http://www.phonegg.com/compare/27/Samsung-I9100-Galaxy-S-II-vs-Samsung-i997-Infuse-4G.html . Apple doesn't like to show offf their specs, so there's no easy way to show all three side-by-side-by-side.
Both have a much larger display and are a lot more current than the iPhone 3GS (faster processor, etc). Another thing about Androids is the ability to add a SD card for extra storage- for a lot cheaper than going up to the next storage option for iPhones.
If you use a mac or iTunes on the PC for other devices, you'll be used to the interface and there's seamless integration w/ an iPhone. There's similar integration with your Google account with an Android... and either can really go either way with a little work.
Go to a local electronics or cell store and try them both out- they should have working models to use to see which you prefer. I'd personally suggest the Galaxy S II, if I had to choose between the threee, but it's best to give them a try if you havne't tried either before.

What apps are offered for the samsung captivate?
Q. I currently have an apple iphone 3g and i like everything about it. i have the option between the iphone 4 and the samsung captiate. i like the samsung captivate better but am a fan of the many apps on the iphone. i was wondering wht some of the apps on the samsung were since i know they do have some in the android market. also, when i buy an ap does it get carged to my phone bill or not?
A. Trust me - you won't lose anything if you switch to the Captivate because it is android and the android market has an ever-increasing number of apps just like the iPhone. I have a friend who recently switched to the Captivate from her iPhone and she is so happy with the change! I've seen it in action and it is definitely an impressive phone! And, I know where you can get the Captivate for only $49.99 when you upgrade with AT&T: www.wirefly.com

What is the difference between an iphone and an android phone?
Q. I have the Droid 4 and am considering switching to the iphone. Is the only difference the operating system?
A. The main difference is the operating system (iOS vs. Android). However, that means quite a few changes- think going from a PC to a Mac.
Apps are developed and distributed differently (iTunes for iOS, Android Market and Amazon Appstore for Android)- you can't transfer ownership of an Android app over to an iPhone. Hardware is different (one specific hardware design for Apple vs. many manufacturers and hardware options for Android). Android offers more customization by default.
Beyond that, though, it's usually personal preference. Try going to a cellular store and playing with a demo unit and you'll be able to compare how it works and feels vs. your Android phone.
