I have had an iPad for years and it is a lot more secure than my desktop. I had trouble with hackers, viruses, etc on the desktop but nothing like that on my iPad but I do not know what kind of protection our computer expert put in place on it. I love my iPad but my daughter thinks I need to upgrade to a newer model. I do not want to change except for one thing. I can go to different sites and it will turn off on its own. Aggravating when I am in the middle of an email or whatever. I love the kindle feature and have over 250 books on it. One of my favorite authors is William W.Johnstone who wrote westerns and The Out of the Ashes series. If you like to read, check him out. Mamab
You got that right. It is a whole lot more secure because of the sandboxing of the apps. Furthermore, you cannot remotely install any apps, and you can only get your apps from one download place, which screen them for any illegal spying that anyone attempts to hide in them.
