Bloomberg reported that the discussion between the FTC and Justice department over a possible antitrust investigation into Apple was triggered by a complaint from Adobe.

U.S. antitrust enforcers are considering an investigation of Apple Inc. following a complaint from Adobe Systems Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

Adobe says Apple is stifling competition by barring developers from using Adobe’s products to create applications for iPhones and iPads, said the people who spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to discuss the case.

The complaint triggered discussions between the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission over which agency should review the allegations of anticompetitive behavior, the people said. Neither agency has decided whether it would open an investigation, one person said.

Whoa - you don’t say? Never knew capitalism meant, if you can’t beat a competitor, complain to the feds and they’ll stop them.
