I think the point in this article – which echoes the central idea in Chris Anderson’s book “Free” – is much more insightful than it appears superficially. Apple and Microsoft are indeed tangling directly with Google’s “less than free” model that Bill Gurley has written about with these patent suits.

Did you know that your iPhone (or iPad with 3G) is constantly tracking your position without asking you? It’s been doing it ever since you bought the thing. Assuming you’re backing up your device to your computer, this application will show you on a map where you have been. Amazingly useful tool for police forces who believe they have the right to search your devices as if they were your pockets when they stop you, too. Probably also being backed up to Mobile Me if you use that, so also subject to search under terms of use.
