I mean, yes corporate greed is at play here. Where the money is. It's the American way.

To make that analogy fair, Walmart would have to be the only (legitimate) department/electonics store and the reason they would not sell the Sony 32" LCD TV would be something like the box it came in had the picture of a bikini clad woman at the beach on it that went against Walmarts "family friendly" image. Or, Walmart would have to be in an exclusive deal with a pseudo-competitor like Phillips/DLP and would not sell the Sony/LCD device with no good reason or explanation except "We allready offer a flat screen TV make/model/tech/etc". This would not be allowed, so I see no reason why what Apple is doing should be allowed.

Since top Google officials have been assimilated into the Obama Administration, is it any wonder that the FCC would investigate anything detrimental to Google and back anything that favors Google?

Why is it that anytime something goes wrong, people gotta bring Obama into it????? Get over Obama its not on him its all on Verizon and nobody else!! Verizon messed up big time. Kinda like how Sprint had the chance to get into the Android game with Google and they spit in their (Google's) face.

Man I would rather listen to an "IDIOT TECH" who fixes these phones instead of a "NOT SO SMART" CS rep in a store who wants to get more money by selling you a phone and a plan with extras you don't need or a phone that breaks a lot I did see the article about the Hero, seems like a nice little device......

Good argument Ace. You have swayed my view. Because Apple is the sole App store I can agree.
