European Union threatens to take iPhone off the market

Its a real shame the czar doesn't make such noise about apples app approval system. Thats what i was hoping the article was about when I clicked on the link.<p>But equally, microsoft, intel maybe now apple.<p>The key to threatening these big players is actually forcing them to comply.<p>Has microsoft yet paid their fines? or is still being zipped back and forth between appeals and lawyers.

Brushing it off as an isolated incident shouldn't be acceptable in any market, especially when there might be small children in the vicinity.<p>Come on Apple, don't tarnish your image. Whether intended or not this looks like complacency.

Actually Senseo is a product of Phillips, which is a Dutch company, not Italian.

I think that the czar's phrasing and choice of words were telling, and perhaps his feelings about power can be inferred from it.
