I'd be just as happy as the next man to see this go to court, but that's a pretty weak announcement. Completely anonymous sources, and almost no commentary on what they actually said about a lawsuit.
Yeah, the article was completely pointless. Question some friends and I were discussing today: if this issue were to go to court, what grounds would Adobe have?
331 is an anti-competitive policy. They are using their position in one market to affect another.
Then again, they aren't a monopoly so...
I agree with sjs382 - I'm pretty sure they could argue that this violates the Sherman Act - an attempt to gain market power by something other than pure product-awesomeness and low prices. I really think a lawsuit is plausible - I just don't think this guy has sufficient grounds for such a headline.
You honestly can't blame Adobe for wanting to bring suit. After all, if they win, they might get Flash on the iPhone; if they lose, they end up essentially no worse off than they are now. I'd like to see how this plays out just for curiosity's sake, myself.
