Government mulls antitrust look at Apple: source

Regulators are considering an inquiry into whether Apple Inc violates antitrust law by requiring that its programing tools be used to write applications for the iPad and iPhone, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Senh: Wow, that was fast. Just last week, I posted a status update on Facebook about this: "Getting tired of this Apple vs. Flash business. At the end of the day. It should be up to users whether or not they want to install it on their iPhone/iPad, not Steve Jobs. It's a legitimate software made by a legitimate company. Otherwise, it's just an antitrust lawsuit waiting to happen." The iPhone/iPad are innovative devices. But not allowing competing mobile browsers and cross-platform app development is obvious anti-competition behavior. Sure, the iPhone eventually allowed Opera Mini, but only because it was able to find a loophole in Apple's app policy.

Google's iPhone rival gains momentum

Google's mobile platform has a ways to go before it can even think of surpassing the smartphone market share of RIM or Apple, but Android's been buoyed by a flurry of good news that points to greener pastures — although a recent hiccup with Google's would-be flagship phone, the Nexus One, should give the big brains in Mountain View a moment of pause.

Senh: I guess it's official - the Nexus One (aka the Google phone) is a dud. This is a case where they made a great phone, according to the reviews, but just didn't know how to sell it. I REALLY wanted this phone, but couldn't get it.
