The annoying thing with android is that- even in the J2ME days, blackberry had a more sophisticated, fine grained per-app permission system that was easy to find and adjust at any time.
Android and iOS have been playing catchup ever since... Linux I at least will cut some slack, given its age and origins, though it would really have been nice had they addressed security by now. The situation can only get worse, but sooner or later something will happen that will encourage breaking backwards compatibility, I hope.
All that said, I praise the sun every day that I'm not writing BB apps or j2me anymore, so there's that at least.
