Unhappy walled garden not so bad after all..

http://mobile.venturebeat.com/2010/0...d-by-millions/

people might complain about apple's walled garden and apple having to approve every app. but i doubt apple would let something like this slip through. kind of scary that a rogue android app did the following:

Quote:
It collects a user’s browsing history, text messages, your phone’s SIM card number, subscriber identification, and even your voice mail password. It sends the data to a web site, www.imnet.us. That site is evidently owned by someone in Shenzhen, China. The app has been downloaded anywhere from 1.1 million to 4.6 million times.
ouch!
