Caterpillar adds numerous features to your iPhone – please see the gallery below this feature review: FaceLift is a major new feature that allows you to use Summerboard themes without having Summerboard actually installed, which saves some memory and even adds some features to those themes – see this page for more info. … Uninstall allows you to remove any program that has been added to your iPhone as if it were a web shortcut – meaning that if you hold down the icon until it wiggles, you will see a black ‘delete’ icon, which will remove it from your system just as if you had used the Installer.app program to remove it. … Some may claim that buying a license like this with the imminent release of iPhone 2 and the AppStore might be foolish, but there is no doubt that the jailbreak community will continue to flourish even after June…too many people are willing to write decent software and offer it outside of Apples bailiwick for apps like Caterpillar to disappear.

Scare mongering and the adding of insult to injury…
I am, of course referring to virus scanners on the Mac and the unholy WTF called VirusBarrier X5 from Intego .
