Right, in addition to privacy/security concerns for anything you access through the phone, having an always on, always connected, powerful handheld computer being part of a botnet would be pretty bad. The malware Google removed a few weeks ago was apparently trying to get the phone's network ID numbers, wasn't it? So who cares what you have on there, they want to steal your phone's identity! Given the history of Windows, it's not surprising that the average person has no idea about security and installs anything willy-nilly. One might think that Google would have taken heed of that... instead, it seems like we're going to end up with phones running anti-virus that are getting compromised constantly. They weren't kidding when they said Android is the Windows of mobile phones.
