Apple vs. every Mac clone maker has resulted in a win for Apple.

And while Apple hasn't been entirely victorious in the iPhone lockings, 
they do have an out: jailbreak and you void your warranty.  You may 
disagree with my statement but that doesn't change the fact that Apple 
markets devices with computers in them as appliances, not as general 
purpose computers.  So do Amazon, B&N, Sony, Google, and all the rest.
