I don't trust my mobile - they're much harder to make private and "yours" than a desktop.

Still mobile phones are designed with much more security in mind than desktop environments, and basically everybody has a device.

Security is not everything though, you need to balance it with privacy and independence as well. Which are, indeed, harder on Android.
