Spooked by the new Google Mobile App?
by The PocketBerry Team
Over the weekend I received a few emails from our readers asking about the all new Google Mobile App which many of us looked at as a luxury. To quickly recap what the new app entailed, added was a function of typing in your contacts’ names into the search bar and they would come up as a result with the option to call, email, or SMS within Google Mobile. Instant reaction? Joy of course because now you can search for something on Google and decide to call someone right from the application. Days later it occurred to me that folks are more concerned about their contacts being revealed out in the wild to Google like that.
No one’s pointing fingers at Google or name calling badly in any way. BlackBerry users concerns were that contacts contain lots of information such as phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, etc. When searching and using them with in the new Google app, is someone getting your personal records? To answer those concerned this weekend, if you don’t know just don’t use it.
