Thanks, I was there. Seeing their web site didn't change anything for me. I gave my trust to SmithMicro because they earned it, those other guys...I'll wait and see. Personal information isn't trivial. Just wait until some day if your phone number gets into the wrong hands and you start getting 60 marketing phone calls a day then you'll understand.
Quite... I'd never put my phone number into these things. There is no legitimate reason for SM to phone me about my download.
Less bothered about email... I can automatically pre-filter and pre-delete unwanted stuff coming into that... and obviously in this case, a working email address is a functional requirement.
On that point, I'm not sure why a download page / button at the end of the form submission process isn't possible. A lot of these software delivery platforms seem to be favouring this emailed link delivery method now... for whatever reason?
