seriously, how long will it be before someone sues a phone provider due to this? phone users do not control the computer they purchased. at best they have User level access. install a firewall? nope. configure setting to prevent unauthorised use if hardware, such as the camera while the phone is locked? nope. do we need someone to die for android and iphone to open these consumer devices to consumer control?
