BTW, I've seen apps in Market that explain (in the now-much-extended
description field) why they need the permissions they do, one by one.
Not sure if that can address potential doubts of each and every user
(there are some paranoid types out there), but it certainly creates a
good impression, hopefully increasing the level of trust.

I think if you are honest up front and make it very clear in the
description that you are adding these new permissions you should not
have many issues. If you try to do anything that is perceived as shady
then your app will be called out as such.

I don't know what would be a good solution for this problem.
The problem is that half of the users would like the new features that
required "personal" permissions (read sms, get accounts, ...) and the
other half of the users would uninstall or not to update the app
because
they afraid for their personal data.
Maybe it is a bad solution to create two versions with different
permissions.
Do you know how to solute this problem?
I'm thinking of an other solution. I create a new "addon" apk with
these
permissions. This is a content provider which provides the required
data.
The user can make a decision if he installs this app or not. The main
app checks
if there is a provider and could get this information from it.
What do you think about it?
