> ...play by the already established rules.

That's weak sauce. If nobody ever complained about anything and just played by the rules, nothing would ever change.

> The apple...closed markets are designed 100% to be the benefit of the consumer...

Oh please dude, gimme a break. Hogwash. Everybody knows that captive markets are lucrative and that Apple's 30% cut makes them a pretty profit. Google's market may be closed, but their mobile platform is about as open as can be. Android itself doesn't stop anybody from side-loading or using a competing store.

Everybody knows how Apple likes to do things. There's no denying it. They want absolute control over their platform because it's good for them.
