Once again N900 apps win!
Take a look at this article
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000....html?mod=e2fb In short it says how a lot of apps misuse data and share personal details about smartphone users without their consent. Only incident that we had was My Nokia introduced in PR 1.2 but that not very serious since info went to Nokia only and it didnt even work in some countries. Hence, OPEN source RULEZ and N900 is still the best :D |
Re: Once again N900 apps win!
Only incident... as far as you know. That's kind of the whole POINT of surreptitiousness. Considering the plethora of closed-source portions (despite all the puffery about being open), how do you know there isn't more going on?

It's a conspiracy...

Re: Once again N900 apps win!
what about the anti-theft app that was sending data to a russian email address? and the maintainer was nowhere to be seen when people found out and wanted to ask a few questions about that...

Since we are going with the "not mentioned so it wins" -approach, and I didn't see WebOS mentioned in the article either, I'm going to say WebOS rules.
WSJ didn't say anything about Windows Mobile either so maybe this is a Maemo/WebOS/Windows threesome? End sarcasm. |

Practical use of this would be to conceptualize a framework for detecting eavesdropping/spying by applications and incorporating it into an application to run on the N900 to monitor for the behavior.
