iPhone Store Not Completely Open
    Apple has one of the best reputations in American business today. Its products 
  are revered, its CEO is idolized and its stock has been put on a high-priced 
  pedestal. 
All this obscures some rather troubling facts: Its computers are overpriced 
  and because they're from a single source, many enterprises are forced to steer 
  clear. And as the king of the Mac, iPod and iPhone platforms, Apple rules with 
  an iron fist.
The latest downer is how Apple is treating iPhone developers. You'd think Apple 
  would want as many iPhone apps as possible, what with Google set to enter the 
  market and Microsoft already a longtime player. As John Belushi might have said, 
  "But noooooo!" If your app competes with Apple's own software, 
  there's no place for you 
  in the iPhone store. 
Ever wonder how cool things would be if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates traded places? 
  How would Apple and Microsoft be different with this kind of switch? Random 
  conjecture welcome at [email protected].
