"According to security experts from US firm Lookout, numerous applications for Android smartphones and Apple's iPhone send more sensitive data to third parties than users probably realize. Announced at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, the findings are based on an analysis of more than 100,000 apps. In the App Genome Project, John Hering and Kevin Mahaffey, the founders of Lookout, plan to study thousands of small applications to see what they actually do once installed on a smartphone." - ovigia from Bookmarklet
