I thought malware was the business model of low-end smart phones. Random game company pays them to install their game on x000 devices. It's really a question of when, not if, those companies would ship malware. You can't imagine they are actually vetting any of that stuff they install.

I know one of the companies who ships the software embedded with privileges which then installs the garbageware apps (designated by the carrier). The garbageware apps are definitely not vetted to my knowledge.
