The problem with that description of other OS's is that it's ironic. Nokia has been holding an even tighter clenched anus with regards to holding in their Maemo OS. MeeGo is another story, THANK YOU to everyone involved. I sincerely feel as if, had it not been for Intel, perhaps Nokia would have simply continued what they were doing so far and following their trend of speaking up a good game about open-source and letting the customer have control, all while acting counter to that by withholding an enormous amount of source code and continuing to refuse to communicate with the community of customers, developers and hobbyists alike.

I can't say iOS is any better but by contrast, Android has seemed like the best of the bunch with far less closed source in Android than Maemo has ever had AND they listened to everybody that called for untying their Google closed-source proprietary applications from the operating system firmware images so that you can have a far more lighter OS and far, FAR more updates and bug fixes to the individual applications without waiting for a whole new operating system update (the way Nokia has decided to go with Maemo so far, pathetically).

I hold high hopes for MeeGo, but it's quite likely to be the last opportunity Nokia may ever get from me if they fail to produce something that fails to hold my interest in something unlocked, open-sourced and unencumbered. Maemo was sold to me that way and fell far short of my expectations--and likely far short of many of the people that had bought into it before, too, seeing as how a lot of them aren't here anymore.
