Being able to boot to a desktop and perform the most basic function: Make a phone call (I might even make this part optional if we can get a fully bootable desktop). You can do this in android (in my understanding).

Which other market systems are you talking about btw?

My "about 10" estimate came from the lists compiled by the SFLC folks. Certainly they hadn't catalogued more than 20 even if being generous.

And there is an option in the official android market to "show only free apps"... They may or may not be open source: like Pandora Radio - but they are free to me as an end user... and there are many hundreds.
