    Sure, until you realize that the Palm Pre has more trojans and the like in the wild already. ;)

    Only if you are running some crazy homebrew hacky emulator stuff.

    If you Root the phone, of course this may happen.

    This is what happens if you don't pay attention to the permissions an app requires while you install it. A media player with the "send SMS messages" permission should set off anyone's WTF alarm.
