So... it's ok when it's Ubuntu on the N900, but it's not okay if it's OS X (ish) on the iPhone?

Be warned though, the moderators are very quick to wipe you from the public's consciousness.
What's epic is the picture from the article. :P

it would be cool if it was osx, but as it is, it is some skinning, theming, and a few apps.

I know... but same difference. It's a skin that emulates an OS which has been scaled down to a smaller screen.

Same issues about the the icons, whatnot would exist there too if it were indeed OS X as if it were (which is real) Ubuntu or Debian on the N900. It's an OS that's been dropped down to the size of a cellphone screen.

Sorta sad I had to spell all of that out and I know there's still ways to attack the semantics of how it's not the same. Let's just put it this way. Full-blown Linux nor OS X, or even Windows XP/Win7 is not optimized for a cellphone's screen. That's why Hildon, Swipe, iOS all exist... for finger or stylus friendly operation.

Any chance the release date appeared in this dream?

Google bought Motorola for the patents. plain and simple. it has nothing to do with being "cool"
Owning the patents provides protection for their "customers" (read: hw vendors) which means hw vendors get to keep shipping android products wihtout fear of being sued.
shipping android products helps the mother ship make it's fortunes through google ads and the like.

the trends that show web content being increasingly accessed by mobile devices is the reason why the likes of google are branching out (and HP for that matter, are moving away from the desktop environment)

I can still remember a time when, and it's still pretty recently, if you went to a website, you HAD to be using Internet Explorer with ActiveX. If you complained to your HR department that you can't see the PeopleSoft web page, they would look at you as if you had three heads and say, 'How can you see web pages without Internet Explorer??'

Heh.. little did they know that actual, honest-to-goodness, cross-platform web standards WOULD be important. Very important.
