Then, you can sleep nice knowing open source (and the world) was victorious over closed, "safe", and proprietary toasters.

The report also stated Adobe's position that "more than 96 percent of U.S. Web surfers have Flash installed on their computers, according to researcher StatOwl," without noting that the iPhone now accounts for more than 60% of all smartphone traffic globally, while the iPod touch accounts for nearly all (93%) of web traffic among "mobile Internet devices." It's not hard to guess that iPad will similarly account for most "tablet" web traffic.
More than 60% for Smartphone
93% of the mobile internet market (by traffic, but that should imply a huge market share)
And with iPhone 4, iPhone OS 4.0 on the Horizon and the iPad just release, I am quite sure, that those numbers will grow quite a bit. (At least in my Opinion, because they bring exactly what's been missing up to now)
So using this market position to directly harm competitors (in this case Adobe etc) or indirectly (App Devs, without cross compilers, will develope for the biggest product group, i.e. iPhone OS in this case, limiting the Offer for other products, thus damaging them. Those who are willing to do the extra work for more than one platform are rare) is, at least as far as I think, worth an anti trust lawsuit
