Yet another sensational article title with little real content.

The only way for you to put this on your phone is to jailbreak it. This is complete validation for Apple's "heavy-handed" review process. Now, they need to train their review robots on app code and make sure these spybot features don't make it to prime time.

I'm not too worried about apps from indie developers, but would you now trust apps from Google, Coca-Cola, or American Express?
