Just like the iPhone, it seems that Google’s Android devices are also equipped with a killswitch. This means that someone can deactivate software from a distance.
Though the subject is sensitive (consumers are never in full control over their acquired software), Google doesn’t hide the fact that it is there. When Google removes software from the phone, Google will try to pay back the consumer. Next to a money back when Google erases software, consumers that use the Android App Store will also have the option to reclaim money within a day after purchase of software if they don’t like it.
