Re: Why is iPhone not considered a smartphone?

you don't think apples closed system and tight reins on software is anywhere close?

quoted from the linked wiki
Microsoft was not really making any money from Internet Explorer, and its incorporation with the operating system was due to consumer expectation to have a browser packaged with the operating system. For example, BeOS comes packaged with its web browser, NetPositive, and Mac OS X with Safari. Instead, he argued, Microsoft's true anticompetitive clout was in the rebates it offered to OEMs preventing other operating systems from getting a foothold in the market

really the m& antitrust more closely resembles the kind of B/S we have to put up with from the carriers and subsidized phones.
