Meanwhile, Nokia placed MORE closed-source in and even locked down the UI. Near as I can tell, the Android people mention open-source, but don't necessarily go around advertising open-source as a main feature like Maemo did. The Android folks appear to be doing a better job of open-sourcing than Nokia ever did with the exception of pure MeeGo contributions--and they even walked away from that. Thanks to that openness, I've been able to throw the latest, bleeding edge CyanogenMod (a community made) distribution of Android onto my Motorola Droid... and we're being told that there is still plenty of life left to these old devices under Android. Meanwhile, we're STILL waiting for the Fremantle source that Nokia promised to open to the community to backport to the N8x0's, nevermind Harmattan. Sadly, point goes to Android--and that's the most disappointing part: It was supposed to be BETTER, not the same or worse. So much for the obsolesce argument in Maemo vs Android.
