Android Users Beware....Or so I'm told????????

Don't be daft people, Android doesn't record key strokes and upload them to google.That would be the biggest privacy scandal ever. have you not heard recently about the fuss with ipad over recording tracking information on the phone?

imagine the fuss if keystrokes were involved. I work proffesionally with android and it doesnt record stuff like that. Admittedly it post loaction data for use with google latitue but ONLY if you turn the feature on.

I wish people would get off the hacker thing. The number of hackers is so incredibly small as to make the chances of you or anyone you know being hacked something equivilent to winning the euromillions, twice.

lastley remeber the most important part of this, why the hell would a hacker or anyone for that matter pick some guys phone to see him go to work and back everyday. hackers these days dont go for nor care about small fry, they go after websites and their aim is to cause the most disruption and faff.

the most recent example is the playstation network. 100 million accounts, again the chances of it being you or your details they use is 100 million to 1.

if you really want to see hacker activity go here www.2600.org/ its probably the closest you are likley to come to it.

What I posted was a reply I got from one of my mates when I mentioned getting an Android running tablet. He happened to have been talking to one of his friends, a Microsoft engineer, apparently, and it was his reply with examples that I posted.
Me knowing nothing much about technology and not wanting to, just thought it might be of some interest.
My only comment about it was, "Mmm...interesting."
My main (not much of one in the larger scheme of things) problem is/was which to try and fit in the Jim, tablet or my net book just for maps etc for, if ever, I get back on the road and want to do some lanes.

Didn't mean to wind you up, pengy.

lol tis ok, i was feelin a bit wound up in general. it was a release of opinion caused by years of people moaning about hackers, caused in most by people on games complaining about aimbot when the fact is that they just can't play the game very well.

....and a small hint at my past

Hmmm "Interesting" ..

sounds like scaremongering to keep the tinfoil hat wearing crowd busy.

Android running tablet?????

Is that a pill to give me robotic legs?
