Att does have software to remotely access any machine connected to it's network without asking the user's permission
LinenOise, can you elaborate on this topic? I'm curious to what the application is and how it would work to take over a device like Motorola Razor or Sony Ericsson. What command packet can the software send to allow remote access on a 'typical' cellphone? Wouldn't the user notice their device in use?

I would be more accepting of the possibility of this working on smartphones running Windows Mobile or Palm OS (and whatever RIM uses) but I don't understand how that could work on a consumer cellphone.

Thanks
