Do most people care? I'd contend most today no longer care for their privacy with the google and facebooks of the world collecting all sorts of data on us. We give them personal information, as well as our email. We let them record our search and buying histories, you get the point. Even if they were, it would take a lot of testing to detect. You would literally need to put the unit in a Faraday cage and listen on the GSM frequencies in which it works. It's not worth the effort to most people.
As I said before, Im not saying they do, they likely don't. You just cant with certainty say that they do not have said ability. Calling people buts and tin foil hat wearers also doesn't help. A certain level of caution should always be used, and putting full trust in a company is a but ridiculous. You never know what people use their kindle's for. It's possible ( but not likely) one of our elected representatives uses such a device to overview confidential documents. Do we really want confidential documents in the hands of private enterprise? From there anybody can gain access.
