bloatware is extra software the carriers load up on your phone. Whats even worse is they don't let you remove that software (unless you root)...for example the Asphalt HD demo just takes up space...

Effectively everything the manufacturer/carriers preinstall for you outside of stock OS is bloatware...some bloatware we find useful like Thinkfree Office or Sprint TV..but its the ideology that phones should give you a choice what to load up and not preinstall for you...so things that are just there using up space and baterylife/processing cycles that you may not want to use.
