Yes, but the fact that this is becoming the norm these days with all these new devices and since Apple and Google are the most prevalent they must know this stuff is going on so they must benefit. If they allow this, what else are they up to? I'm safer with what I have and it does just about anything these newer devices do but it just takes a few seconds longer. Whooptidoo!

Not really, Android is open source, anyone can do anything they want. They don't benefit anything from it. Its like saying the Fascinate loads up Bing instead of Google, Google must know about it thus they must benefit lol...you get the logic fail here? In case of Apple though I can't exactly say but considering its a closed platform Apple must have approved it in some shape or form.

The Good thing about Android though is we can remove it.

P.S. The Google Nexus phones which are controlled by Google do not have Carrier-IQ.

And how do you know WM is not monitoring you? see thats the thing abut closed source, you never know whats inside ..this is why Carrier-IQ was found on Android first and removed from Android first..cause when you have the source code you are in control.
