A story has recently broken about how Apple's iPhone and iPad have been collecting users location data. It's something Apple insist they need to collect to help them deliver their services. As an end user you can't opt out, nor delete the data it has already collected. Depending on your circumstances, it could be the mistake that you won't live to make again.

Android is a smartphone OS developed by Google. It's Linux based with all of the flexibility and security that entails. Some manufacturers have already jumped on the Android game, one of which is the Motorola Droid. As the year unfolds, many more will follow.
