Phone Fishin'
 
My beautiful wife and kids bought me a Droid X2 for Father's Day. Not being a real techy guy, I'm slowly learning how to use it.

Does anybody have recommendations on some good fishing-related apps?


Thanks,
Rob

No seriously, Think about what info is on your phone. bank passwords / account #s, email, passwords, and most importantly, BWE password.

I have Verizon, and an antivirus would make sense.

Really good stuff here. I have a family member who is an investigator heavily involved in "tech security". He was warning me about this kind of hacking over a year ago. That article is almost spot-on to what he was telling me. Scary sheet.

One thing to avoid using are the public wifi points. Others can be lurking and running an app to watch/collect user ID and passwords.
