HTC Evo Update Packs Some Security Tightening?

ShootMe is an app available from the Market that allows you to take screenshots on your Android phone, at the cost of rooting your device. One of the exceptions to this rule was the HTC Evo 4G. Until now.

For those Evo-carriers using ShootMe that were able to get yesterday’s update (for the EVO, not ShootMe) before it was taken down, you’ll notice that you’re now unable to use ShootMe without a root. While this may be met with some groans, this may be a good thing. There was some that thought that the ShootMe use ability with the stock Evo was sort of unnerving, as with other phones a root was required. While this update may be a bit inconvenient, perhaps it’s for the best. On a related note, Android just needs to add some native screenshot support already.
