Widać to standard w tej branży:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/02/google_android_install_asset/

..."When we asked Google about the INSTALL_ASSET tool, a Google 
spokesman said the company "is not providing comment on this matter." 
But Google already uses the INSTALL_ASSET tool when you download 
applications from the existing Android Market – the one that sits on 
your phone – and Gundotra's demo makes it clear that it will be used in 
other ways in the near future."...

O Remote Application Removal AKA kill switch Google poinformował na 
swoim blogu. Natomiast po cichu wprowadzili groźnego backdoora.

..."But Oberheide – employed by the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based security 
startup Scio Security – is still concerned that the remote install tool 
could be compromised by miscreants."...

Którego mogą wykorzystać nie tylko służby rządowe (takie czy inne).

..."According to his research, Google's connection to Android Phones – 
known as GTalkService – is not protected with any authentication other 
than SSL.

"So if an attacker is able to compromise the integrity SSL connection, 
as we've seen happen [before]... they will be able to spoof 
INSTALL_ASSET messages and install applications on the victim's device," 
he tells us."...

Przy tak kulawych zabezpieczeniach i rosnącej popularności Androida 
bardzo prawdopodobne, że prędzej czy później zostanie wykorzystany.
