yes! I love this sort of news

Is it safe to assume they'll remove that horrific "Apps" app that always needs to run in the background on my phone 24/7?

From a end-user experience standpoint, why would you want to confuse customers with pre-installing so many competing apps? MOG music, Slacker, Play Music, wtf is all that? My Maxx reminds me of those old E-machines with their endless bloat. Say what you want about Apple, but at least they've got their shit together by standing up to network operator's sleazy tactics. I personally enjoy the complexity and utility of Android but Verizon shoveling all their garbage and logos all over my phone is an obvious attempt at a cheap cash grab. Wait and see, I'm sure their marketing team are busy as beavers trying to concoct a new vcast App store removal surcharge.

Imagine if Comcast required you to put a sticker of their logo on the side of your computer. haha

yes they will. Also you CAN disable it right now assuming you have at least Ice Cream Sandwich on your phone.
