"CarrierIQ" on various mobile handsets

[Lauren Weinstein]

  "Carrier IQ (CIQ) sells rootkit software included on many US handsets sold
  on Sprint, Verizon and more.  Devices supported include android phones,
  Blackberries, Nokias, Tablet devices and more ...  Carrier IQ is able to
  query any metric from a device.  A metric can be a dropped call because of
  lack of service.  The scope of the word metric is very broad though,
  including device type, such as manufacturer and model, available memory
  and battery life, the type of applications resident on the device, the
  geographical location of the device, the end user's pressing of keys on
  the device, usage history of the device, including those that characterize
  a user's interaction with a device."  http://j.mp/vCyUA1 (Android Security
