(Google claiming to protect privacy in some cute form letter doesn't cut it for me). Android sounds EXTREMELY exciting to me, but the idea of Google having
access to this information is frightening:

1) All my web searches, everywhere (home/work/mobile)
2) All the Email (at least to the phone)
3) All the instant messages
4) All my web browsing on the phone
5) All my contacts
6) All my phone records?
7) My calendar (if I choose to use that feature)
8) Where I am physically located at all times
9) Possibly account information + apps on the phone

I am watching closely over the next few months to see if people will
come up with options to protect their privacy and “unchain” the
G1 from total Google oversight. (Google claiming to protect privacy in
some cute form letter doesn’t cut it for me).
