rhetorical hey!!!
I gave up worrying months ago, given the nature of the tablet re accessibility and privacy, it becomes a question of whether you need the application (and by extension, the tablet) or not. Abit of a blasé attitude but let's me get on with enjoying "stuff" and leave the worrying and sorting out to others.
Yeah, I generally say access to your system for something that needs to do a bunch of useful stuff like Google maps (assuming you find the app useful) won't be a problem on an OS that has been pretty much written by the same programmers and they could easily have left a back door into your system without telling you about it.
It's not the apps which come clean about what they're doing to your system that you really have to worry about.
Ps you do have a security/virus solution in place don't you?
Well I've done some reading & for what it's worth (ie the opinion of a tech challenged old fart) I think I'll ditch Lookout and go with Avast for Android. I use the pro version at home but the Android suite is free. It's got some good wraps.
I've had some problems installing the lost or stolen add-on to my phone (thought I'd try that first - Samsung Galaxy also) though. It need to install to the system root and my phone won't let me - so far.
Bugger the lost or stolen extension, just get where's my droid from the market, no need to root your phone and provides all the security you'd want (including a setting to puk the phone if the sim card or the number is changed)
Before anybody asks, yes, I am aware of the euphemism potential of this post and I assure you everything I've posted is PG
