3) Android is compatible with Linux Kernel 2.6.33 (I'm running it now)

yes, as i said before, technically you are right, "Linux" is just the kernel.

what i'm critizising is the fact that the way google is advertising android, you'd think you get the whole "linux" deal, which is not the case.

anyways, you are right, this isn't the thread for such a discussion. let's see when and if google ever reintegrate their modifications into the mainline kernel.
