Hello, I am new to the forum and the android family.

I recently purchased a Samsung Vibrant( GalaxyS) and was curious if I should be concerned of the warning flags that show up prior to downloading app's through the market. i.e. twitter.
The screen says: This application has the access to the following:
-Your location
-Network Communication
-Your personal information
-Your accounts
-System Tools

This makes me a little unsure of continuing with the download. Is there a way I can upload the apps from a laptop and securing the phone from access to this info.

If this has been discussed can someone post a link? Thank you in advanced.

Hi - Welcome to the Android Forums - This can be a little disconcerning and there was a thread for this a while back but I just don't recall where. Sorry -Cheers

no.. there's no cause for concern at all. It is more for informational use than warning.

Sometimes the little things are under appreciated and taken for granted. its easy to criticize, but its difficult to offer a solution.
