The Verge only printed part of the report. Apparently the iPhone app spy kit, Warrior Pride, was developed first with the Android version coming shortly thereafter in latter half of 2010.
The iPhone spy package can get "any content from the phone, e.g. SMS, MMS, e-mails, web history, call records, videos, photos, address book, notes, calendar (if its [sic] on the phone we can get it)." The Android slide differs slightly in that the last sentence is a qualified "we think we can get it"
There's also some new questions about a company called Millennial Media and their association with some of the mentioned apps. In an odd bit of timing their CEO and founder stepped down earlier today and effective immediately, shortly after this latest app spying story was revealed.
Still won't save them from whatever comes from their upcoming Rockstar trial (and I'm pretty sure this is going to be the one that hurts their mobile efforts the most).

IMO there's a good chance Google will turn this back onto Rockstar themselves and successfully prove inequitable conduct in the issuance of the asserted search patent. If so Rockstar and it's ownership will lose all rights to monetize the patent. If you haven't read the counterclaim you should take a few minutes to do so. It's pretty detailed. http://www.scribd.com/doc/199345327/14-01-10-Google-Answer-to-Rockstar-Search-Patent-Complaint
If you want to go straight to it begin with page 8.

I'll have to read that later...impossible for me to read on an iPhone with no glasses.
