I definitely get where you're coming from. I don't know the full story, but it seems they had an embargo snafu (code for: one of the reporters that was under embargo conveniently forgot they weren't supposed to post until 2 days from now).
It's got to be an extremely stressful situation that was not of their own making, and I think we could all cut them some slack while they scramble to get everything ready 48 hours earlier than anticipated! :)
That said, if they had in fact replaced a web service with an iPhone app, that would be a fundamentally different product that I did not sign up for, and I would expect them to yield my permissions and start over, or send an email with "click to transfer permissions to the new product." What if they "pivot" to become an email marketer? Would my permissions ride along there? You are right in this case, however.
