[android-developers] Override in call-screen - Security Bug or Feature?

I just had a private mail-discussion with Dianne Hackborn and he asked
me to put this issue on the Developer forum for further discussion.

I have managed to override the in-call screen from the Java API (i.e.
not modifying the source).
(If you want to se it happen, download Jarmans ReverseLookup from the
Market, it´s free)

Reply from Dianne:

What do think about this?

Best Regards
Jarman
