I thought that was what I said, but I guess I skimped over a fair amount. It does make it a little more difficult to attack an amateurish apps permissions.

I don't want no apps just email, sftp and a browser with security being paramount oh and a multi touch screen which limits your os options, currently. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
