Most of what you do on Google Android mobile phone platform (T-Mobile’s G1) is mirrored to your Google Account Web page. Every e-mail sent, every calendar entry created, even every Web site visited becomes catalogued. Furthermore, the phone’s ability to locate itself via radio tower and by GPS may make it highly trackable.

Among the downloadable applets that you can use with the G1 are tools to track the phone’s position on a Web page or via text coordinates you can plug into a map, and tools to show you other Android users within a 10-mile radius. Many of the downloadable applications have access to your phone logs and phone book, and have permission by default to connect to the Internet.

For many people, these potentially snoop-friendly features are useful and welcome. But if you are seriously interested in privacy, think twice before committing to the G1. We recommend waiting until Google tweaks the Android software to rein in the intrusiveness, or buying a different phone. Oh no for Google Android mobile phone!
