Does this mean we should think harder about requiring a more stringent security model on phones? The latest Android now has somewhat finer-grained permissions, but overall still isn't as specific as you'd think ("internet access" vs allowed to set up a proxy server, or record your traffic, or something else under the "internet access" umbrella term).
Also, we seem to have a strong implicit trust of apps on the respective application stores.
