I selected "Yes" on this one because I figured it was not a big deal but I am now confused. Is this guy saying there is something separate from this that is sending the data?

While you might be comfortable with Palm having bits and pieces regarding your phone usage, other people, specifically business users, absolutely hate the idea of anyone knowing any information about their acitivities. If Palm are serious about making their phones and webOS a serious competitors in the mobile business market then they as a company need to avoid any accusations that suggest that information is being gathered over-zealously.

As Palm said they need this data to better serve you. I don't think they would do anything bad with it, and if you read the privacy policy it is very clear saying they are not going to do anything bad with it.
