Is your Palm Pre spying on you?

Is your Palm Pre spying on you and sending your GPS coordinates and more back to the Palm mothership on a daily basis? According to mobile application developer Joey Hess, that's exactly what is happening. He asserts on his personal blog that data on the location and app used on the Palm's Pre smartphone is being sent to Palm.

The report of Palm snooping on its customers is growing in volume within the blogosphere with many taking the allegations seriously. To be clear, the allegation can not be confirmed.

  1. I did not post this because I am iPhone fan, and not a Palm Pre fan, but because it is rudimentary: with this type of technology in our hands, we are obviously opening ourselves to vulnerability checked only by our 'inalienable rights' when respected by private companies and enforced by Government.
