    CarrierIQ on iOS has no ability to monitor text input.

    Um, how exactly do we know this? Because someone at Apple said so?

    Apple? No, not Apple. It was Chpwn, the same hacker who found the Carrier IQ software on iOS in the first place.

    From his blog post, linked to in TFA (emphasis his, not mine):

    Importantly, it does not appear the daemon has any access or communication with the UI layer, where text entry is done. I am reasonably sure it has no access to typed text, web history, passwords, browsing history, or text messages, and as such is not sending any of this data remotely.

    It appears to be disabled by default so you're probably OK. Follow chpwn's blog and twitter for more info.

    Wow, Windows Phone 7 is so insignificant that they wouldn't even port Carrier IQ to it? ;-)

    seems a bit less intrusive than the one demoed yesterday.

    Seems so :
