I don't think this should be regulated at all. Apple should be able to impose their rules in their systems. Let's be clear about this, if people are choosing to buy these black-box closed handheld computing devices, there are consequences that come with that choice.

Who's device is it? Apple's or the customer that paid for it in full?

The device may be yours but the App Store belongs to Apple. Can you walk into a Walmart and start selling your stuff?

If I buy a fridge from Walmart I can still put groceries that I bought from another store in it.
