iPhone users have long relied upon applications to make sure they wake up on time, check their email, book holidays, read newspapers and even ensure they don’t miss their favourite TV programmes. Some users say it’ll do everything but make the tea.
So whilst we’re not surprised, we ARE highly concerned that world leaders will be able to use their iPhone to launch an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) from anywhere in the world with a 3g internet connection (or wifi).

I would imagine making an app related to launching ICBM's (joke or not) for an OS called Android is a sure fire way of bringing about the apocalypse by way of SkyNet and Arnold Schwazenegger.0
