"Good investigative work by Grant “chpwn” Paul. iOS includes a Carrier IQ daemon, but it doesn’t seem to log any particularly sensitive information. Nothing like a keylogger or reading SMS messages. He’s documenting his research on Twitter as he goes." [1]

It's unnecessary to do a 180 (or 360, if he should end up in the same place) because this article isn't about iOS vs. Android or closed vs. open. This is about some company being disingenuous as to what their software does and cowering behind a misleading press release.
