I believe they would take legal action, because they have a temporary monopoly on the market. It's the hottest phone to come out in a long time, at least for those who have to say I can search the web on my phone and strain my eyes in the process. I think the phone is only for the attention seekers just to say I have one. You have laptops for surfing the web on the go, smart phones for getting email,(and laptops). There was no need to combine the two in a compact pocket sized reason to get glasses in a few years. It's not like the competition isn't going to create their own IPhone clones in a year or so, and the market will be flooded with them and we can all have one for $50 with a 2 year contract agreement.
