"How the iPhone puts a bomb under mobile networks", "Apple can data mine the application message stream — and it’s been a telco’s dream for years to mediate such flows."

Some Apple software comes VERY close to being called Badware:

"The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has referred Apple's iTunes service to the European Commission on grounds that it overcharges UK customers." (2004)

Just saying that I'm watching a trend, nothing more. I will give general advice though to anyone who has a fan base: don't abuse your fan base.
