Android can easily be compared to Maemo for the same walled garden--especially with Ovi thrown in and these dependencies I just pointed out. Sure--they rewrote libc for their java-based environment, but Maemo re-broke xorgso that you can't even use a damned mouse without hacking it up and "rooting" and re-broke Bluez so that you can't use a keyboard without the same tactic. Worse, if you find some deep problems with their apps or drivers, you can't fix it or depend on someone to fix it for you outside of Nokia and you end up facing the possibility of a "fixed in [next Maemo]" debacle... which is even worse now that there won't be a next Maemo. .
