  still use Apple's WebKit-based engine required by the App Store developer guidelines
This is pretty retarded, and should really be looked at by the DoJ. To hobble all web browsers like this is something that even Microsoft, at the height of their dominance, didn't even attempt.


Apple isn't dominant like Microsoft was, though (though I'll be honest that it looked for a year or two like they would be -- I'm still wiping the sweat from my brow over that). It's not enough to be anticompetetive under antitrust law, you have to be a monopoly too. Apple's hobbled third party browser environment isn't hindering android adoption, basically.
