    Misleading title is misleading.

    Yay for being unpopular! I don't seem to have any of the apps mentioned so no worries for me.

    How can you have a non-smartphone android?

    Also android went though this issue 2 years ago so its nothing new.

    With Apple and Google, security was an afterthought...so things like this ought to be expected.

    I have a wifi tablet. I also have a non smartphone cellular phone. One of those oddballs that never felt the need to have a data plan, so I have phone and texting only.

    Yep I don't use or have a facebook account. Never have. When it get getting big when I was in hgihschool it still needed an edu account which my school didn't offer and when that restriction was removed I already started to hate the idea of social media website after moving out of my emo high school phase.

    Ah ok I misunderstood. I thought you were saying you had an android phone that was non-smartphone.

    I've always be the reverse. I wanted data but didn't care so much about texting or voice. I've considered in the best just getting a tablet plan for my cellphone and carrying a second prepaid dumbphone around for calling

    If you do get a tablet? I made the mistake of getting a 10.1" Xoom. While it is great as a camera and something to watch movies on, it is a pain in the tail to carry around. If it is stationary in the truck you are all set.

    I bought a wifi only version as I felt if I did return to OTR, it would be fun to have something for basic browsing and instant messaging with the wife. Also a tablet is far easier to cart around than a notebook.
