    "As a software developer, there's no denying that open source software is a powerful and transformative force in modern software development. The console model, and Apple's de-facto first party development model, are about as far as you can get from Mark's freedom zero-- instead, you get zero freedom... So I'll ask again, since Mark brought it up: why doesn't anyone give a crap about freedom zero? "

    Some good comments here about the problem with open-source, and it's place in the wider scheme of things, before it degenerates into an Apple fanboy battle.

    InfoQ: Google's Android SDK Bypasses Java ME in Favor of Java Lite and Apache Harmony

    "Today Google released the Android platform SDK for Open Handset Alliance devices. Android contains a custom Dalvik virtual machine for running applications written in a subset of Java... Instead of providing a full version of the Java SE or Java ME Google has diverged on two fronts. First, a limited subset of the core Java packages is provided."

    Nice overview of Android from a developer's perspective, but wtf Google! Let's fragment the mobile world further by introducing another incompatible app platform!
