First off - Apps can be designated easily. After all - you can currently
identify the app to in order to administer some settings already.
I can
currently go into Settings -} Applications -} Manage Applications -} Click the
App -} {administrative choice}
The administrative choices are
currently:
Force Stop
Uninstall (if it's not manufacturer
installed)
Clear Data
Move to SD Card
Clear
Cache
A section for "Launch By Defaults"
And an information
section for what the app has access to
The only thing preventing the chioce
to identify which of those accesses are prevented is that it hasn't been built
in for the end user to select.
Is it really so very difficult to
de-select a check box that controls "full access to the internet"? Nope! The
proprietary companies don't want you to be able to do that though. So they
remove the functionality in Android that controls that... if it's been built
into Android yet.
If J. Random can uninstall the app, J. Random could
just easily control the access - if it was allowed!
I hope for a time
when Google - probably via Motorola - produces a truly open phone so I can have
the control over my phone that I want without having to root it.
