AppleMobileDeviceService.exe is the only "helper" software that iTunes installs and it is easily shut off and disabled forever. In 9 years I've never once seen the Apple helper software re-launch itself after I stopped the process.

I think most people are annoyed that for any update apple update selects everything automagically (even if its not installed..) so its easy to get stuck with a bunch of stuff people didn't want requiring more updates as they get updated :)

I'm intrigued if this will help speed up the 3gs or if that was just a silly rumor to stop android/wp7 momentum
