In my opinion I really like Android. I would consider myself a fan of both Maemo/MeeGo and Android. I wouldn't necessarily consider operating closed while yes each has its own set limits neither platform by definition is a closed platform. What I like about Meego it that it is a full Linux distribution that can run Linux apps on a Mobile device. Just because Android isn't Linux doesn't mean it isn't open it just means that it isn't Linux you can run apps that aren't approved by Google under Android. The only thing (in my opinion) that makes Android closed is you have to hack a device to gain root user access something that is much easier to obtain under Maemo (I wouldn't know about MeeGo it hasn't been released yet). My real problem with Android is the issue of fragmentation some Android phones have some have Android 1.6, Android 2.0, and some have Android 2.1 and then there is the issue of custom skins whether it be Motoblur, HTC Sense, HTC Espresso ui, or Touchwiz. I would like for both oses to compete in a healthy way.
