But I suppose that reinforces my point that being locked down doesn't help you in the slightest.
Yes, being much more open is a good way to prevent surreptitious behavior. This is why Maemo fails just as much as Android. They're both just as lamed up in that particular way. I really.. really hope MeeGo isn't ruined by device-locked firmware images (ala Tivo)--because I really am hoping to finally have a good open OS on a portable that I can trust. In the meantime, the Android vs Maemo pissing contests just seem silly and I take them for the silly conversations that they are.
