This fork includes enchantments to many of the built-in apps, Ad-hoc network connectivity, OpenVPN support, Bluetooth HID, Incognito browsing, extensive control over audio and UI elements, and more found in the extensive CHANGELOG. The CyanogenMod team uses an instance of Google's gerrit tool for code review and patch submission, helping make this former backport of Android 1.6 to T-Mobile's G1 into thriving development for the G1/MyTouch/MyTouch 1.2, Droid, Nexus One, HTC Aria, HTC Desire, HTC Evo 4G (minus 4G and HDMI output), Droid Incredible, and MyTouch Slide. HTC Hero (including Droid Eris) are coming soon for 6.0, with Samsung Galaxy S devices expected to be supported in 6.1."
You have to OK all the things that an app can touch before you install it, if you go installing apps without looking at what it can possibly touch then that is your problem.
That is unless there is an exploit that allows developers to access features that it does not specify in the application manifest.
I don't think anyone's fingers are slim enough to click on a link that's only a few pixels big since the screens are so small anyhow. These screens are small and made to be finger friendly, that type of accuracy is not needed I don't think.
For larger screen that are meant to be used instead of mice then that's a different story.
