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.

"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!
