Default Google removed apps from phone

Google removed 2 apps from phones.

These 2 test apps came from TippingPoint to show how easy it is to deliver an unsecure app to a phone. These apps are not dangerous.

I think the apps were for free. TippingPoint removed the apps already from the market but a lot of people installed these apps manually.

Interesting.. This, plus http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20008518-245.html

Both close on the heels of the ipony Fo Gee release. Coincidence?

Haha, that cnet article has been changed now. They found out it was fear-mongering by iPhone fans. For example, a contacts application needs access to your contacts. Sound the alarm, they are stealing my data!
