Interesting, this one: Vodafone are launching a snooping service which lets businesses record calls their employees are making. They're putting this onto every phone, except the iPhone:

"Vodafone tells us it's working on an iPhone version, but Apple doesn't allow interception of outgoing calls so we can't help thinking it's going to take them a while. The iPhone might not be the bankers' choice, but there are more than a few knocking around the City."

I guess "Apple exerts control over its platform" isn't much of a story any more, but I was quite surprised to read this. Voda didn't get the iPhone with any exclusivity, so on what basis did Apple get them to sign up to this - are Apple having any operator which sells the device limit what they do with it? I'd love to know more about what other restrictions there might be....
