99% of my apps require 0 permissions. I really believe that a lot of my success comes from this.

I never download anything that requires anything other than the Internet permission, maybe Location, and sometimes SD Card modifications (though I hate that one too).

Some of my competitors that are completely free ask for phone identity, contacts, etc, and yet they are soaring to the tops of the ranks.

People are downloading anything, and not worrying about anything.

Unfortunately, the average user still has the mentality of "So, I have nothing on here they can get". Which is obviously idiotic as the hacker will use YOUR phone to do something illegal possibly. I don't know why people don't get this???????
