Who would decide what Apple were allowed to do? Are you suggesting some sort of legal framework, requiring a US corporation to make available certain applications, but allowing them to reject others?
I suggest that being that the iPhone is the defacto standard when it comes to devices of its type (I do not have one, nor do I want one) there would be grounds for antitrust cases similar to the numerous ones Microsoft has been "victim" of.

And still you see no tangents to Microsoft being forced to make IE an optional install, and facilitating for the download of third party browsers by means of including "advertisement" for them in Windows? Apple gets away with murder where no-one else would. I loathe that company more than words can begin to express, to such an extent that I am easily suckered into arguments of low substance and less intelligence as soon as I spot what I conceive to be Apple-fanboyism... Alas, that is my cross to bear. It's a work in progress. As for the quotes from Voltaire bit, that's probably the one point we're in agreement on here. //L
