Boy Genius Report has a story that the HTC DROID Incredible "with Sense UI, will periodically store screenshots of the contents of your web browser". These screenies are stored such that they are not deleted by resetting the device, thus offering opportunities for identity thieves et al. The matter has also been covered by Engadget and Huffington Post.
