Cell phone spyware
Install this software on a cell phone and it will record text messages, conversations, and it can even turn on the microphone and record background noise.
This is horrible, yet it is sold as a commercial product even there is almost no legal way this software could be used. The founder of this company argues that it helps people in dire stress find cheating spouses and so on. This kind of thing isn't at all new, in the sense that spyware has been sold as "family protection" for years in regards to home computers. What concerns me is that at this point many people have a false sense of the security in cell phones. Since cell phones are more ubiquitous than PCs, the problem of spyware is only growing.
The site also says that after April (what year isn't clear) the software will work of Blackberries, the um er um most secure communications device out there. You may have a blackberry specifically becuase it does not have a camera or mp3 player, meaning it isn't fun its just business, but now it can also be your personal tracking device as well.
