Every iPhone contains a unique, software-visible serial number - the UDID

All networking components have a unique ID also (MAC Addresses), so this feels a bit like scaremongering to me. Developers on any platform can use that relatively safely to presuming individuality, so why's it bothersome that the iPhone has one unqiue ID? (instead of the two MAC addresses (wifi / cellular )

So...if I had somebody else's UDID, what could I do their phone? Scaremongering indeed. <i>yawns</i><p>P.S. Being an owner of an app review blog, I give my UDID out frequently.

As far as I know each Mac has its own unique serial number (despite from the CPU serial). I wonder how frequent this ID is used in the wild...
