Which is why I said "from the end user's perspective".
Judging from the
permissions this program deserves to be classified as spyware. Why else does a game need permission to access to your address book or phone's state (e.g. phone number, who you are calling, etc.)? Thankfully the Vox isn't a phone so they can't learn to much there, but still! As a kicker, it even has permission to turn your Internet connection on ... so turning off your WiFi/3G isn't enough. Now I don't know if it does all of this stuff, but the fact that it has permission to is certainly suspicious.
So yeah, there is some stuff that I just want to remove on my Vox.
