That was my concern with the DROID, even though much of the information sharing is "defeatable". I posted my concern about the possibility of having the gmail account "hacked", and so much of your personal life being stored on Google's "cloud", over on the Android forums. Surprisingly, the vast majority didn't consider it an issue.

Funny thing is I can see a DROID/Android phone being part of a cop show or movie, where authorities are looking for someone, and they just check with google to find their:

- current GPS location
- known associates
- known associates current locations
- schedule
- schedule of upcoming GPS locations
- browsing history
- gps history
- info from email
- tap into Gvoice phone conversations
- etc.
- etc.

...thoughts of "Enemy of the State" movie come to mind, except it is all done thru their gmail account.
