As one who worked for Netscape, and was 12' away from Marc Andreessen when the ruling was handed down, the ENTIRE case against Microsoft was predicated on them (A) Being a Monopoly (that was critical) and (B) Trying to leverage said monopoly into another line of business.

Nobody is going to suggest Apple has a Monopoly in the mobile phone, nor even the Smart Phone industry. In fact, I think Eric Schmidt publicly said that "Android had Won" today - so that kind of puts an end to that thread.
