In reading the TechDirt article on this post, I realized how logically flawed this article is. While it is certainly true that the "hot" iPhone will eventually be replaced by a new innovative product; it does not logically follow that handset regulation or device neutrality is an inappropriate "solution" to this supposed non-problem. In the logical extreme, this is equivalent to saying that we all die, therefore we do not need an FDA to protect the quality of our food.
