Are the EU and main standard bodies going to put pressure on them, too? So far even the Bluetooth standard is ignored and "spat on" by Apple, as e.g. a Bluetooth headset working perfectly fine with every major vendor (Moto, Sony, Nokia or Palm) won't work with the iPhone as long as Apple is not its vendor. This is sick and hostile to both customers and the environment. How about Apple?
