I know with my Black Berry on Verizon my screen is littered with new Apps that I never installed (Bing, NFL,Skype, and more). It is pretty annoying.

It's no the same thing, those apps come pre-bundled when you purchased your blackberry, the Google mechanism is a safeguard for when a malicious app slips through, and it only applies to apps downloaded from the market.

These apps were not pre-bundled with my blackberry.. Bing didn't even exist.. Blackberry users just woke up one morning and apps were added.
