And also the biggest thing is that all of these attacks *do* require having

Apparently, such attacks are also possible on any Droid 2, rooted or
not:http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5...
Given it's the successor to the original Droid, the all-time best-

now open to a much larger user base than before.

Just a heads-up to anyone using ANDROID_ID in their LVL
