The Android also tracks where you've been:
I wonder which one tracks where you've been and what you've been doing without letting you know it's doing it and saves that data in a less secure manner... better. Smells like a selling feature. Would that be your "smart" phone?
Here's the Guardian story on the iPhone's "remembering" where you've been:
This is almost as problematic as Firefox remembering, in clear text, all the passwords you've ever entered into any password-protected web site and told Firefox to save it. Funny, but Firefox is web browser, not a password database. But perhaps I'll write about that "feature" another time.
Location, location, location... apparently.
The problem with the iPhone's collecting this info is that, per sources for the article: "[T]his data is stored in an easily-readable form on your machine. Any other program you run or user with access to your machine can look through it."
There are a couple apps, like Untrackered, that'll prevent your iPhone from remembering this info.
