Google has confirmed.
Matias Duarte, Senior Director of Android Experience at Google, let it be known after the company's launch of Android 4.0 ICS that all system applications can be removed, including the Chrome-variant browser and email client.
Today, thanks to the SDK, it is clear that carriers were not given the right to override that requirement and users can easily disable and hide such unwanted apps.
Hitting disable will give users the chance to bring the apps back, but disabling will also remove the icon and stop the app from ever running.
