You beat me to it :) I haven't actually checked, but word is that newer version of Market are using SSL, so that is probably OK for most phones. Still, it is generally a bad idea to use an unprotected (open) public WiFi network. Gmail, etc. are using SSL, but most app are not. And there is indeed a handy Firesheep-like for Android, so it's quite possible to sniff stuff (seems people are mostly after Facebook) with an Android phone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
