APPLE STARTS WORLD WAR

Now, this may seem ridiculous but I'm not so sure.  I mean, I am stuck with a low-tech Samsung something-or-other and I seem to use that enough to make it a bit of a habit.  We all know how cell phone habits form...start innocent enough but before we know it we are passing up the pub for a good text session (or texting at the pub, or texting each other on the car ride to the pub, or tweeting in the delivery room or something).  Consider Egypt recently...can you say "cell phone revolutionary"?  And before that the UAE put out a ban on Black Berry use, citing it as a security risk.  There reasoning was essentially that the servers were/are all located in North America...and texts sent from a blackberry are security coded (I.e. no government control!).  I mean really, how easy is it to send a state secret from a cell phone?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-10830485  So, how much should governments fear the growing power of the cell phone?
