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.

This is the best argument against all Google products. I am not hysterically, I am using Google maps and Youtube regularly but when it gets to personal stuff, avoid it as much as you can: Gmail, Calendar, Android.
