re: #37 dr. luba

actually this would be a great thing for my parents. Easy to use, you can do e-mail and surf the web, look at photos, etc. And it’s a closed system, so no software to deal with, no viruses to worry about. Pretty foolproof.

I suspect viruses are still a concern. All those apps that it runs are downloaded code, and pretty much anyone can contribute apps.

I’m sure there are substantial security layers in place. But that’s true of other platforms, as well.
