But they are not in the exact same position - Apple has a much tighter grip on their App Store than Google, and they don’t even need to: they make money selling the devices.

I'm sure that's how Google feels! "Unfairly competing in the 'Android app distribution market'?? We are Android!!"

This is one of those legal situations I really can't wrap my head around, though. The point is the situations are different enough it would have to be a different legal framework for Apple's situation, and a different day in court.

I think a ruling like this is good. We need more checks on Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.

Apple’s app store policies product users. One thing Apple has done which is very good is regulate iPhone app decelopers.
