well theres been open OS’s before, the only problem they have is just BAD apps and virus apps that slow it down, so they will have to find a way to maintain the marketplace SOME how

Looks like the device itself needs a little more horsepower. Either that, or running of graphics in a high-priority thread; the whole thing seems to jerk a lot every time CPU utilization peaks…

I’m quite willing to buy one, though, as there’s a lot less butt-hurt involved than with S60 3rd ed, which I’m writing software for currently.

I almost sound like a marketing shill.

okay

I think he means stuff like a totally new home screen, new dialer, etc that are not just basically simple reskins & repositioning icons. Open sourced means the source code for the OS will be shown but that means more for developers than consumers. For jailbreak you still can’t see the source for the OS. My take is Android will take longer to mature than the iPhone. Quality control (not really true for 3g launch though) & hype factor by Apple will be hard to match.

i don’t know if you posess the iphone and really have jailbroken it? but the thing is after jailbreaking all the 3rd party software is linux based, so in a way its open source, and android without the original android OS is no android anymore, that counts aswell for the iphone so don’t bother…

Even If you jailbreak the iphone, you can’t change the OS… While with Android OS can be modify since it is open source, so more features can be added by users.

nice version of Google Android demo,very clear what he showed.

jailbreak the iphone and…..

It will be better than iPhone OS. The most important thing is this tht it’s open OS.
