Carrier IQ Fiasco: Apple says they have no traces of it in iOS 5

In the recent fiasco covered by the many tech blogs of the internet, Carrier IQ makes a software that monitors everything on goes on in a smartphone.

We never recorded keystrokes, messages or any other personal information for diagnostic data and have no plans to ever do so.
