horseshit in implementation
android is nothing without android market and google apps. which google charges for. thats not open source.
there were some leaked internal emails floating around a few months ago with a bunch of great quotes from upper android management talking about how they use android market to get money out of device makers and manipulate them by threatening to pull access. motorola had put a competing map app on one of their devices, and google threatened to pull access if they didnt change it.
