There was outrage last month when it was discovered Apple had included a "kill switch" into the iPhone software.
The kill switch meant that any applications Apple did not approve of or were dangerous could be disabled remotely by Apple themselves.
In the terms and conditions of the Google android fine print Google has said they "may discover a product that violates the developer distribution agreement ... in such an instance, Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your device at its sole discretion".
The T-Mobile G1 is the first phone to run the Android software developed by Google and goes on sale Oct. 22.
Will Google get the blogger world and mainstream press up in arms like Apple did?
