Having a 20 year monopoly is the only way to sell products now? You do realize that this is the exact opposite to the principle of the 
free market?

At the end of the day its a business and the goal of a business is to generate revenue. Don't get hung up on the terminology -- besides, its known as free enterprise which consists of open markets.

A business can generate money in lots of interesting ways. Sponsoring politicians to nice dinners, golf weekends and what have you is one that comes to mind readily. In return new laws come into effect that just mysteriously happen to favor some companies over others. Another way to generate revenue is to dump your waste into the local water supply, because it's the cheapest option. I could go on. Is this really your argument, that whatever they can do to generate revenue we should applaud them for their success?
Who was applauding?
So are you telling me that Google should somehow release their patents (if thats even possible) and let the rest of the world use their formerly patented technology to generate profits? You're making a nice path for me to assume that further down the line you would rather abolish all currency and everyone exchange services for free.
They can't just release their patents because patents are like nuclear missiles, it's a game of mutual destruction. Companies have busloads more patents than what you're seeing in the current patent cat fights (Apple/Samsung, Google/Oracle etc). Some missiles are being launched but the vast majority are kept in the bunkers.
That's why the system as a whole must change for anything to change on an individual company level. But that has zero chance of happening with the pharmaceutical lobby having bought the entire committee.
Do you actually realize how insane some of the patents are that have been granted? Amazon's one-click shopping. Instead of following a wizard that has several steps, you just have a button that registers your purchase. That's a technical innovation? And that's a relatively respectable one as they go btw.

Me too. For some reason, the app is not being made available to all regions. Don't know why. Here's the Market weblink for the app.

Disgusting, that proves many things, i cant believe who stupid the apple supporters are.
A company without ethics, that is trying to abuse the law and agressively trying to halt the opposition sales, justify everything that has been said about them.
The only care for promotion and presentation, they lack substance and they are afraid of the competition.
Who would trust such a company?? I hope they will soon share Nokia's fate...

Your assessment is laughable at best. It is plain as day that Samsung not only modeled there hardware to mimic iphone but their touchwiz is a blatant rip off if iOS in appearance and most functionality. Ps apple will never face nokias fate. As of yesterday they are the most valuable company in the world!
