False. Surely a story written by someone that doesn't understand. To install an app from the Market, one has to press Install and approve a list of permissions.

False. Surely a story written by someone that doesn't understand. To install an app from the Market, one has to press Install and approve a list of permissions. Outside of the Market, a user has to download an APK manually, open it with the Package Manager, choose to install and again with a separate button, agree to grant all of the requested permission. It still requires two levels of agreement from the user. There's no security risk here. Call us if the Package Manager is somehow exploited, not really sure how that would even work anyhow.
