Everyone complains now but I wonder how many people will continue the argument when (and I say when, not if) a piece of malware reaches hundreds of handsets and Apple/Google save the day with their little switch.

I totally agree - it'd be far worse not to have some way of stopping a malicious program! People are always going to complain about any form of online policing, but will always be quick to praise the police when they fix something that goes wrong!

I mostly trust Google, and their engagement in free/open software is laudable. This killswitch has the potential to lead to trusted-computing, but today's market is not the same that allowed Microsoft to reach monopoly(especially as people seem to be more savvy about their phones than their computers for some reason), and I doubt it will be used for anything but security.
