Reading back over the thread, i think you're conflating market with free market. By definition, Apple has a market. Apple can do whatever they want - it's their toy store. I'm not saying it must be a free market. There are two possibilities regarding the delay of the google app. 1, it's taking a long time to actually review the app. 2, Apple is delaying approval, hoping siri will get more market share. The more time passes, the more it looks like 2 is the case. Now, this is my speculation about how our thinking differs. You seem to think Apple would only ever do #2. That, because it is their toy store, they will actively quash competing apps, even apps that don't violate the terms of service. Or, at the very least, pay far more attention to threatening apps than a random fart app. I'm more nieve than you, so I'm willing to allocate some probability to #1.
