Carrier IQ Admits Holding ‘Treasure Trove’ of Consumer Data, But No Keystrokes | Threat Level | Wired.com:

"Carrier IQ came under intense scrutiny the last few days after a Connecticut-based Android developer posted a YouTube video showing the software has enormous access to usage information, and claiming that it logs a user’s every keystroke.

The company was hit with privacy lawsuit on Friday. What’s more, Democratic Senator Al Franken demanded answers, asking Carrier IQ’s chief executive Larry Lenhart whether Carrier IQ was vacuuming to Carrier IQ’s servers every stroke and communication."
