I installed the firewall app from the Cydia store on my jailbroken iPhone. It is pretty impressive just how many apps want to contact various parties to report would-be irrelevant info on your phone. Assault on privacy indeed. I did notice that Angry Birds, and offline game, sure wanted to send a lot of data out for no apparent reason. It seems like there is a new business model reflected by a subset of the app store catalog that just intends to serve as a cheap/free distraction for the user, with the real goal of raiding as much data as possible.
