ahem if you check mobile dev history you will find Nokia did the same thing with open source Symbian, etc..

No viable successful open source mobile OS gives equal access to public and OEM partners to a private tree

Well, if Nokia boasted about Symbian's openness, they were in the position to be criticized too. It's mostly a PR problem.

"No viable successful open source mobile OS gives equal access to public and OEM partners to a private tree"
