The iPhone is revolutionizing the mobile computing market, largely on the strength of its "it just works" credentials. The availability of easily-downloaded apps from the app store is one of the iPhone's big strength. However, the app store has its dark side both for developers and users.

If we're nominating companies for the Evil Awards, Irving Oil would be on top of my list - those guys could give Microsoft lessons on how to be a predatory monopoly.

Before this goes too far, can we get some lateral perspective.
Apple and Microsoft are companies that make products and provide them for sale under certain terms. They are not "evil" because people disagree with their terms and their terms are nothing more than restrictions on the use of the product you buy. They don't kill kittens, or generally affect anybody outside the users of their products.
All this evil-calling should be directed at a genuinely evil company, like Coca-Cola.
