It's not impossible to deliver otherwise. Apple could open source IOS and it wouldn't preclude them from doing exactly what they're going to do.

Non sequitur. They could not deliver "their" experience without locking down "their" hardware/software on "their" devices to keep it under control thus avoiding all the issues faced by the droid camp. Whether they could or should release iOS to run on other hardware has nothing to do with anything being discussed.

What are you even arguing at this point? What's the difference between every android phone and an apple aside from the openness of the software? No one is providing open hardware.

Ask yourself that question.
