We're all familiar with the fact that Apple has trouble managing its App Store. While it is overflowing with applications, Apple governs it willy-nilly, and the web is rife with stories from developers who had their application rejected for no apparent reason. There's now a new issue we can add to the list. Are you an iPhone developer? Do you want a similar, competing application out of the App Store? All you need to do is send an infringement claim to Apple, and they'll happily threaten to remove the competing application without a second thought. Update: And here's a similar case, about Stoneloops! vs. Luxor.

Microsoft is smart enough to realize that, if you want your platform to be successful, then you do everything your power to make life easier for the people developing software for that platform.
But Apple does everything in their power to piss off people who develop software for the iPhone. Apple history is poised to repeat itself once again: they get a few years of success, then competitors catch up and Apple eventually gets left in the dust because of their own arrogance.
