Ian and Mark,

I expect the European Commission to "discover" that keeping competitors' apps out of the app store (e.g. http://qurl.tk/be ) solely because they're competitors' apps is illegal, but that may take another decade. Whether the EC will recognise Apple's "technical" reasons to block Flash apps as artificial and hence illegal remains to be seen, but usually the EC is stricter than the US authorities when it comes to keeping the market competitive. In Europe, once you buy an iPhone, you can do with it whatever you like as long as you don't violate national laws. You're free to violate Apple's license conditions, but that means Apple can deny access to the App store (for now).

Maybe nuts, but there doesn't appear to be anything illegal about it.
