The author originally noticed the snooping because he happened to be examining the phone's traffic when the ActiveSync credentials were sent. If you actually read the entire article, you'll notice that credentials were sent for Exchange, Facebook, Twitter, Photobucket, Picasa, YouTube, IMAP, POP, Yahoo Mail, and Flickr. Of those, the Microsoft and Yahoo services are the only ones where passwords are NOT sent, meaning you leak less data using ActiveSync than you do using IMAP.

So what is the name of the software which is sending the information, if it's not ActiveSync?
