I would give a straight meaningful answer, if the questions were straight and meaningful.
See my previous post - I have tried as best as I could. But frankly I think the original question is something you should ask developers, not users in the lounge.
And think about it - Android is the ONLY open source phone operating system on the market, being adopted by an increasing user base and developers. Do you think if it had the privacy concerns that other developers and users wouldn't have screamed and yelled by now?
Google's business model is based on the trust of its users. Do you think they would jeopardize their cash cow business models by somehow trying to steal your petty useless data? I only wish I was worthy of such attempts by a multi-billion dollar business.
Do you think you're the only one with privacy concerns?? That the rest of us are naive and stupid?
The questions from the beginning were rather clear and straightforward, and the arguments concise. If you misunderstood any, or just had no knowledge whatsoever, you could've at least avoided the 5 or so bad jokes you've posted here. If you've got nothing good to say, etc.
The Market app. has a backdoor allowing Google to remove apps downloaded from it from end users' devices.
Well, usually at forums like this when you get to a user with over 1400 messages credited to him, he can tell you a thing or two about networking, system security and the like of whatever system you're discussing. It's also reasonable to assume a general FFA forum will have some presence of dev's.
Actually it's not the only OS system in the market, and not first, just the first to have such a marketing and development effort behind it.
I think if there's a billion Chinese under the government of China, communism must be right. Do you agree?
And no one knew about the Market backdoor until they've used it a few months ago.
By the way, the string "google android privacy" has about 73 million search results. There's some screaming going on, but apparently you're not aware of it. Google it up.
Google's model can be explained by half a dozen other users' traits, non of which is trust. Also, if you want to talk about bad PR, again - go read Eric Schmidt's, he's Google's CEO.
Now, if you're still talking about "data stealing" as if someone has paid all of his attention to you (so oldschool), than obviously you haven't read anything I've written on this forum. Thus, I'd rather not comment on your last question.
