Here's what Jonathan Zdziarski himself says, in a later post on his personal Web site:
So I post one little comment to a geek blog site about an "unauthorized apps" list downloaded by the iPhone, and every wanna-be-watergate journalist in the northern hemisphere emails me with conspiracy theories.
Allow me to set the record straight.
The location cache on the iPhone, located in /var/root/Library/Caches/locationd/, contains (among other things), a cache of unauthorized applications and a URL to a page on Apple's servers where it is apparently downloaded from time to time. That's all we know - nothing more. We do not know whether this mechanism is active, or what exactly it does. I haven't even bothered disassembling the firmware, because I didn't think anyone but "us geeks" would be interested. It might vaporize applications. It might simply prevent them from using the GPS. It might do nothing except upset the privacy advocates who don't like their iPhone calling home. For all we know, it could trigger world war three, or it could cause some computer somewhere to spit out recipes for buttermilk pancakes.
