Wallpaper sites and programs have always been notorious for spyware and adware. So its not too shocking this trend has continued with cellphone wallpaper apps.

Mobile security firm Lookout embarrassed Android by revealing that a popular wallpaper app was sending sensitive user data to a mysterious Website in China.

Chalk one up for Apple and their App-Nazi mentality. Not to say they aren't vulnerable to letting things slip but they do have much tighter restrictions on apps.

And that's why I don't go to those wallpaper sites and use those programs.
