Hey, Now Android Can Spy On You!

Well, it was just a matter of time. Apparently an application was released in the wild that can forward private text messages to any phone without the owner's knowledge. The app is unique because there is no visible icon or shortcut to access it, so once it’s installed, it will continue to monitor without revealing itself. The app was released on Wednesday, but eventually pulled from the Android Market as it violates the Android Market Content Policy. Some argue that this is just the reason to require apps to be approved before being released in the Android Market. Well, decide for yourself, but in the mean time, keep your Android phone within eye sight.
