While the mobile industry is still deciding if there's a market for two, three, or four smartphone operating systems, mobile malware writers have picked their target and are flocking to Android, according to the latest annual security report data from Juniper Networks.

The company's Mobile Threat Centre has analysed nearly two million mobile applications over the last year and seen the number of dodgy Android apps rise from 38,689 in Q1 2011 to 276,259 a year later.
