Actually Android IS as open as I think it is. Android is open source, specifically referring to open source code, where the SOURCE code is OPEN to the public free of charge with the ability to copy, build, modify, and distribute it free without royalties or fee's(omitting M$ abuse of the broken patent system). The matter of his panties being in a twist is that the carriers interests are not aligned with his, or the consumer for that matter. The carriers are allowed to the source and fork it however they want because it is just as open to them. And to QQ about not having daily builds or the newest SDK is really about being lazy. If you don't want to wait, do it yourself you already have a set of open source code to work off of! Amazing!
