Even, if RIM tells, that the security of the Playbook is not weakend by running Android apps, everytime I install an android app, I wonder, what would happen if some trojan-like app really accesses the front cam or the microphone, and sends this information to a command and control center.
There is no LED on the cam or for the microphone which will light up if one of these devices is in use.
