I've noticed that after the 3.3.4 market update I cannot view the permissions of installed applications. I used to be able to go to an installed app, Menu - Settings - Security, and view its permissions, that's all gone now.

Also, the permissions do not appear on the app's installation page, they appear on the confirmation page before installing (after clicking download/buy), that's not very good UI.

Before the 3.3.4 update, the permissions on my phone were just the titles with no description (Full internet access, Read phone state and identity, etc.), so Kudos to them for adding descriptions.

However, I was shocked after the update when I learned what "Read phone state and identity" really means, here's the description: "Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like."

That seems pretty invasive for what I _assumed_ was a GUID or a token of some sort to authenticate purchases or keep track on installations. I wonder what "the like" means in that description.
