I don't know if mere talk (earnest talk, not just idle talk) is illegal without actually doing the deed. For some laws, making a propsal (in earnest) itself is illegal regardless of whether the proposal is ever implemented.
A trial would be time consuming and messy. Let's just have the EC fine Apple 1.5 billion for proposing collusion with Palm, then fine Apple and Google 1.5 billion each for the Apple/Goole collusion, and we can just move on, secure in the knowledge that justice was done. :p
