I rather thought that was the point - they were protecting consumers from paying for a feature that they probably had on the to-do list for some time. They don't seem to have been desperately concerned about competition for other built-in apps, and why should they be? Makes no difference to them. This anti-competitive fuss smells like bollocks to me. And as a man, I know about bollocks.
