Just because they say in the privacy notice that they don't use this information, doesn't mean they don't. I mean, why would they collect this info if they weren't looking at it? Seems awfully fishy to me. At least with WinMo, when you install programs and app, you have alot more control over what it does and how it reacts to your usage. Plus, i dont trust an "internet advertising" company built OS.

I give props to you guys for creating a project you enjoy, and works on your phones, but do more research on the company that build the OS first.

Also, an alternative to this, until its fully working for those of you who like Android and want to use it for daily use is NRGZ Maxsense ROMs. Its very smooth and stable, and has the feel and functionality that Android does, in a WinMo flavored package. Im not trying to step on anyones toes, like i said, its great your building something you like just don't put your full faith and trust into just yet.
You do realize that Windows Mobile Apps have all the same permissions, they just aren't forced to inform you of them beforehand, right? I hope this post was some sort of subtle joke...
