Hmmm... it's an "iPhony" for the most part. I wonder what else they have in store. Is the openness of this the entirety of the radical innovation in this? Or am I expecting too much?

Even the openness is not what i was expecting last year. So what if it runs on Linux? You're stuck with whatever the Android SDK supports and you have to use Java.

Well - for the moment. IMO they're kind of stuck at a crossroads between open and commercial:

For some reason, it makes me so happy that this interview isn't on YouTube.
