Re: Why I might never buy an Android phone...(short and sweet, comments welcome)

Not sure I understand exactly how google knowing where you are and what your doing at all times is not thinking for yourself, its not like someone at google is changing your calender or scheduled events.

There is a built in price of information in most things you buy, they either want your address, income level, age ect. just for records to see who is buying the product. That's why many companies want your zip code when you buy something in one of their stores.

I don't know about anyone else, but my android phone also gives me the option to opt out of sharing gps info with google. Not saying I 100% think that that means they don't ever use any of the info my phone generates, but I doubt its just there to fool me.
