There are iTunes and App store apps on my iOS devices which can't be removed.

No worries.

Launch the Apple Configurator app.

[+] Profiles -> Create new Profile...

Restrictions -> Configure button

Uncheck [Allow Installing Apps] Uncheck [Allow Use of iTunes Store]

Save, Prepare, done. Nasty icons gone.

What does the presence of iTunes have to do with the ridiculous suggestion that you can only "screw around with iTunes" on an iPad? The logic of your and greedo's replies boggles.

"In fact, iTunes doesn't even exist on the iPad, so you don't really know what you are talking about, at all. (edit: Two instant downvotes on this, but I notice nobody is refuting my facts.)"

Considering that Bud was spouting out of a bodily orifice, the rest of his argument is suspect as well. This, despite the fallacy of jrockway's argument deserves to be corrected.

Ah, my apologies. Somehow I managed to miss that part despite reading that comment and the replies several times over.

At any rate, jrockway is a known troll. Should've known better than to enter this fight.
