Google can remotely remove applications from your Android phone (Download Squad)

Yes, Apple can - http://www.macrumors.com/2008/08/06/apples-ability-to-deactivate-malicious-app-store-apps/

From the article: "the iPhone calls home once in a while to find out what applications it should turn off."

This is for blacklisted applications. Apps removed from the App Store are not necessarily blacklisted apps.

Jun 25th 2010 7:43AM This is a silly post.

Yes, they can remove violating apps, as can Apple and Palm. Unlike others, they only remove bad apps from their own marketplace, and you have access to other marketplaces and locally installed apps.

As the other post about the 20% was a bunch of sensationalist crap, misinterpreting this is just plain silly.
