Has anyone heard of malware that sends itself out via Bluetooth? I saw it on the news and wikipedia but I'm still not sure if it's true.

I misunderstood the news yesterday, I thought that was just Apple... but that's worse: ie that's an Apple led consortium including Microsoft and RIM against... Google. Jeez...

Privacy Inspector for Android

Quote
The large and growing number of apps available for Android tablets and smart phones means a growing risk for apps that will gain access to your private data – in some instances without you knowing.

Private for iPad

Quote
Private will delete all personal information and browsing history each time you click out of the app, and it will do another sweep, once more, when it’s clicked on the next time. The result is browsing privacy that many will find comforting, or even essential if using Web services, when using the iPad on the go. While many other iOS-supporting browsers provide incognito functions, we like the simplicity and snappiness of Private and think you might want to give it a try for browsing on your iPad or iPad 2.
