Android = SPAM... New Evo/Android users be warned

im sure this isnt new news, but most here have No Android experience what-so-ever...

so ive been playing with Xandroid dual boot for about a week now.. and im starting to notice Android is a bit sketchy... (anyone not familiar with Xandroid, its Android on the TP2)

i went to install a new keyboard and got a warning that i would be giving up info if i use this.. info being(as warned by app): that search inqueries and including password/login info would be visible.. WTF???

also noticed that in all those wonderful free apps(which most people will probably mostly/only use free apps) they have ads, which means SPAM..

shouldve known something from Google would have Ads all over it, i dont know why im suprised...

so how long before they figure out how to install rootkits and such embedded into these Ads/spam...

Im all about getting an EVO, but i dunno now, i dont need half my apps SPAMMING me while im using them...

Just wanted to bring any New Android people up to speed... you will have Ads/Spam in your apps..
