"Calling all spies: Has cell phone spy tech got your number?"

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/08/20/cellphone.spy.software/index.html

This new technology that allows third parties to have access to an individual's smart phone has sent shivers up the spines of many Blackberry and iPhone owners. Light was shed upon this issue when the Blackberry owners who reside in the United Arab Emirates got wind that an update sent by their service providers also contained software which could allow a third party to look at their personal information. This brings concern to the general public because they now know this new "spyware" has been developed. This news will bring skepticism to potential smart phone customers who are fearful to a security breech.
This proves that technology can be a dangerous threat to our personal privacy. The advanced technology of new smart phones is increasing the ability to develope new spyware.
