And once again, Apple is shooting itself in the foot. Do they really think that Google will just lie back and take this? I mean, is it really a good idea to piss off a company that has: way more money, a massive talent pool, a customer base which contains of a very large number of iPhone users, and an OS platform that directly completes with Apple's flagship product?
I dunno, I think Google knows the DOJ is waiting for an excuse to come after them, and it's hardly worth the risk over something that has no impact on their bottom line.
If anything, the iPhone rejection weakens any case against Google. Google creates a way to make free phone calls. Google wants to let its competitors use that, but the competitors won't allow it. Google is trying to play nice, but Apple won't let them. They could restrict GV to Android, but they chose not to.
The potential DOJ interest in Google isn't about android, it's about advertising. Playing nice in a non-core area won't win you any points from the DOJ in another.
