HTC Incredible Privacy Breach

Not really a huge deal but apparently HTC has an issue with storing random snap shots of internet pages you browse, and saves them to your memory card. Now, I myself noticed this also about a month ago while browsing my card from my pc and just manually deleted them. It didn't really concern me till it was labeled a privacy breach due to the user being unaware, and the uselessness of a hard reset to delete these pics. Basically if you ditch your phone and It's reset, those old pics are still accessible. HTC says a full memory format will solve our problems, but they claim to be having a fix soon. My guess is its going to be included when Froyo gets pushed. Something to consider if you think clearing your browser is erasing your tracks. Shoot on over and check out the story. http://tinyurl.com/2co34rc

It would be nice to control that, I would love to take snapshots of the websites I visit or have them recorded at will on the memory card.
