"Why does it exist? It exists because Apple paid them for it. " My question was specifically asking why a "RIM client exists when RIM has specifically disavowed any relationship with CarrierIQ." Coupled with CarrierIQ's statement that they support "most platforms that are out there," I have extrapolated RIM's example as a cautionary tale that Carrier IQ can be installed on even closed platform by the carrier, if need be, without OEM approval. If, as you suggest, WP7 is truly exempt, that's reassuring to me as a user. But it strikes me that RIM was quick to reassure it's customers, and now has egg on it's face, so I'm still waiting for the other shoes to drop. Carrier IQ has specifically mentioned Symbian support, and I don't see how that can mean anything other than Nokia. news.cnet.com "Since the CarrierIQ rootkit reports directly to Apple" Is this true? In the Verge interview, CarrierIQ is pretty clear that non-carrier customers are a "tiny portion" of their business and that operators own all the data that carrier IQ collects. Is there evidence that Apple's implementation of carrierIQ is for their own use?
