HTC Android Smartphone Stores Browsing Screenshots
Mad Hamster writes "Boy Genius Report points out that the HTC Droid Incredible, using the Sense UI, 'will periodically store screenshots of the contents of your web browser.' These shots are stored in such a way that they are not easily deleted. 'They remain when the current browser session is closed, they remain after you clear the browser history, and they remain after a full factory reset,' though there is a way to delete them manually."
HTC producing great software as ever.
I could understand all the UI hacks when they were doing WinMo phones as WinMo has an awful interface. But Android isn't as bad, why produce all these closed source crud on top of the OS?
Why not submit the code back to the Android tree and have it properly scrutinized by the developer community? you won't get stupidity like this then.
Since when does clicking a file and pressing delete qualify as "not easily deleted"?
Since you have to go down into the cellar with a torch to find them.

By "go down into the cellar" you mean either mount the SD card and delete the files or install a file browser and delete the files./quote.
The funny thing is that you're phrasing that like it's a correction even though it's really supportive of my point.

I cant imagine how you can picture using a file manager to delete a file as difficult, obtuse or obscure?
How hard, obtuse, or obscure is going down into the cellar with your torch, especially after you find it's down there now?
