There is only one thing the DOJ should be concerned about with Apple's app subscription program, and that is the price requirement. As it's highly dubious that Apple has any kind of monopoly, it should be free to set whatever requirements it sees fit for its platform, but mandating other prices outside the App Store sounds an awful lot like restraint of trade to me: http://dictionary.findlaw.com/definition/restraint-of-trade.html http://dictionary.findlaw.com/definition/restraint-of-trade.... *Not a lawyer

I believe they have a monopoly in terms of digital music distribution, which is one of the services that would be affected. I might be wrong, but I don't think Amazon's market share approaches that of iTunes in music.

  I always buy Amazon MP3s, personally. It works really well, and I know they don't seem to have a big skin in the DRM game for music, unlike Apple. Personally, a Kindle is my next gadget to buy. I've been very happy with the Kindle apps on PC/Mac and I've liked the physical Kindle UI. The iPad just doesn't do anything for me.
