Yeah. It seriously amazes me that Apple can consistently and vigorously close their environments and bully anyone who tries to open them, yet it's always someone else coming under fire for anti-competitive practices…

Until people start voting with their wallets, though, I don't see them changing.

Last month, I was seriously considering picking up a MacBook for the purposes of iPhone/iPod touch development, when I stumbled across these same (and some similar) articles. I will always have a strong distaste for AT&T, but the seemingly arbitrary policies of application approval at the Apple Store was the final straw in my deciding to pass.

Guess what? The FCC is now looking into Apple's AppStore policies:

I'm sure this is *exactly* the sort of attention that Apple would have liked to avoid, but it sure seems necessary in this case, as tales of random treatment of developers keep piling up.
