Im not spreading fud.  It's a concern, not because i think you did anything wrong.  Just from a security standpoint.  Ive been reading on the forums a long time.  Not an attack.  Just wondering what security is put in place.  As i have not really seen any info on it.

If i understood it correctly IEs software does "just" launch the official wallet from the menu, the other functions are part of the "card software".
So there should not be any security loss/issue at all.

Yes.

I'd like to know not as a bash but because the idea of crypto is knowing how/where your money is stored. 
Is the wallet segregated from the rest of the software interaction? 
How is the auto updating done, does it ask the user if it wants to update or does it just do it without input? 
What about possible corrupted firmware,  does it protect the wallet? what happens. 
Could we have the source opened for an update to select developers to look at before release?

Other questions i have but this to start with.

Things i would like to know, and things i think would make the card better if known.

You do not have to use the software on the card. You can wipe it clean and use whatever software you like. This has been discussed in detailed, use the search function.

Yes i know.  But these are questions worth answering.  Doesn't matter if i can wipe it clean, if your gonna sell it you should be able to back that up with how it's being secured for the average person.  Not tell me to just wipe it.  If your not going to give any info on these questions then please just don't answer.  Not looking for a flame war just want some basic answers.
