I'm not surprised they're doing this.

There have been rumours for a while that MS may use it's dashboard update feature on the X360 to brick flashed X360 consoles however given the risk and the fact they are the content stream (via XBL) they don't have to flex their muscles.

Apple however need to prove to the operators that are paying them large fees that they can ensure that the operator continues to benefit from the people that buy an iPhone - especially in this country where the operators subsidise the handset costs. O2 won't be too happy to subsidise an iPhone that then generates T-Mobile revenue because somebody unlocked it.
