Any sprint phone can be tracked like this (for years) and it can be pushed. Also Sprint connection cards can be tracked. Google latitude offers tracking. Why do iPhone users act like a feature is cool and awesome when an iphone can do it even though it has been available for years elsewhere?
Because Joe, 'iPhone users' are the general public. Who do not no anything about Google latitude, or indeed 'tracking'. They don't spend there time posting on forums, browsing geek websites, FLAMING faceless nerds. They just go about their everyday, i might even say boring, lives. Millions of them.
That why when Apple introduce a piece of existing technology to them, re-packaged, glitzed up and made super user friendly, they think its cool. And yes thats why a lot of geeks/nerds/technology enthusiasts, call them what you will, tend to get wound up about Apple. But its all lost on me. I am one of those afore mentioned types and I like Apple products.

You forgot the part where Apple charges $100/yr for the service. Soon Apple will start selling air. It's the next logical step.
