The crime: identity theft. The location: the Android Market. The weapon: a free “banking” app. The lesson: you should be terrified at all times, of all things, even if Google says you shouldn’t be.

The Google phone could be a ploy to upset the wireless industry, or it could be an expensive niche smartphone. Either way, it is a bid to take Android back from the companies that are tearing it apart.
