There are some apps (all requiring root) that allow selective permissions for android apps. I like knowing what the app wants to be able to do and if something strange sticks out, I'll look it up or block it. >You are shown a list of permissions but I don't see why I have to allow Twitter access to my contact information and gps location. On your iphone, the twitter app has the same permissions but nobody tells you about it. Only upside is, that you can disable the gps access.
