Apple's iPad risks falling under the axe of European antitrust authorities this year after Belgian authorities complained about the firm's alleged attempts to dominate the online newspaper market, paving the way for possible EU intervention.

Vincent Van Quickenborne, the Belgian economy minister, urged Belgian antitrust authorities yesterday (17 January) to investigate possible abuses of its dominant position by IT giant Apple with its iPad tablet.

The iPad has brought tablet PCs into the mainstream and was hailed as the most significant innovation on the consumer electronics market in 2010, with some arguing that tablets would even partly replace personal computers eventually.

The Belgian minister suspects that Apple is abusing its dominant position on the tablet computer market by selling exclusive newspaper subscriptions from its online shop iTunes.
