No offence but those posts about suspicious russians that want to steal your private data made me rofl.
Mind you I'm not a developer or even related to spb team,but just google a bit or chech their site,they have made a lot of useful applications for different platforms and I'm really exited they finally took a serious look at maemo at this hard time for OS.

I seriously doubt they have some sort of google-like intention to gather up personal data. Moreover,spb is not that stupid to understand it's piss easy to chech the data transfer up.
