This morning Slashdot linked to an article talking about spyware in Android applications... this made me think, are we N900 owners just as vulnerable to spyware-ridden evil malicious applications as the Android folks? I wonder how many N900 users here actually do source code analysis on applications they install from the 'extras' and 'extras-devel' and 'testing' repositories. I understand the N900 user base is a lot more tech savvy than the Android user base, but who, if anyone is checking the latest and greatest non-Nokia applications for the N900?
