Kolide by 1Password ensures that if a device isn’t secure, it can’t access your apps.
Pretty dramatic performance difference. I think Android 2.2’s JavaScript performance gains are from JIT compilation, which isn’t possible under iOS 4.0 because of a security feature where once a page in memory is marked writeable, it can never be made executable. It’s a nice security feature, but one that comes at the expense of significant potential performance gains.
