Yesterday, it was discovered that a new type of malware, being dubbed Plankton, was embedded in several applications in the Android market. Google has since removed those applications, but one developer seems to have wrongly gotten mixed up in the fold. He's the developer behind Tiny Flashlight + LED, perhaps the most popular flashlight application in the Android market and one I consider to be the best.
The developer says he's tried contracting Google via their support form for developers, but has yet to receive a response. He tried to get his plea for help through the Android developers' mailing list, but has only encountered other developers with the same issue. And he's even gone to the big cheese of developers himself, Tim Bray. (Tim Bray is an Android developer advocate who works to ensure developers have an easy time on the platform.)

Clearly the little guys always come in late, useful tiny flashlight or not.
