• Despite the squillions of iPhone apps out there, Apple has worked very hard to keep details of its contract with developers under wraps. No longer: the Electronic Frontier Foundation used Nasa's iPhone app as an avenue to file a Freedom of Information request to get a public copy of the contract (PDF). And the organisation isn't happy with what it sees: including a ban on public statements, certain reverse-engeineering restrictions and Apple's lack of liability in case of something going wrong.
• Google is testing a TV search service, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. It suggests that there's a pilot scheme for an embedded set-top search service linked to a US satellite TV provider - not the first time that Google has shown television ambitions (here are two examples in the UK). But still worth watching.
• Also in Google, meanwhile, ZDNet brings news of this Goldman Sachs note reducing expectations of sales of the Nexus One - drastically. It now thinks the company will sell 1m handsets in 2010, down from a previous estimation of 3.5m. Why? "Possibly due to limited marketing and customer service challenges" - or, in other words, the decision to sell it online-only.
