But they also have (larger) Marketing departments who determine what gets said about the research, and more often than not, it is slanted towards growing their own sales.

Trend Micro is in a different category than Symantec and McAfee. First, I don't believe they offer a product for Android OR iOS. Second, very little of their business comes from home users; they make their money on Exchange servers, Windows Enterprise stuff, etc. Companies pay them money to protect the company, not primarily individual units, and certainly not smartphones.

Even if they DID make an Android product, saying it is less secure would encourage iOS sales, in a market that is still maturing, costing them sales.

I've used Trend products for more than a year, and although it is not as configurable as I'd like, it is more effective and less bloated than its two largest rivals.
