    Now... I also want to use the camera (optional) and vibrate
(optional but most users will want it) so I have to add :

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />


Here again, vibrate is a normal permission, so it will not be seen unless the user wants to dig into it. (And seriously, "makes your phone vibrate." I think the vast majority of users, if they *do* explicitly go to see it, will have no trouble figuring out that they are okay with it.)

What's the point of the VIBRATE permission anyway? I can't imagine a case where the user decides to not install some application because it has the VIBRATE permission - so why is there a requirement for apps to declare this permission?
