Based on the report of iPhone Atlas and Jonathan Zdziarski hacker, a new "service" has been discovered in the iPhone software, that lets Apple to remotely delete unwanted applications from the handset. There is a link in the new iPhone 2.0 software to the blacklist of unathorized applications. According to the presumption of hackers the device contacts Apple servers from time to time. The list has a date of 2004 and it doesn't contain disabled applications. If it will be proven that Aplle does indeed verifies the handset's contents, then they infringe personal rights and the possibility thtat the company can deny the use of some commercial applications doesn't inspire confidence at all. The use of the blacklist is completely unintelligible, even if that "protects the customers' interests", as software made for the iPhone are verified in the same way as Symbian programs, so those get to the handset only after a detailed verification.
