> iOS was incredibly open compared with predecessors.

Not true. The first two releases of Series 60 were wide open, you could develop whatever you wanted. The third one required certificate signing, so it was as much "open" as iOS.

Windows Mobile had optional signing. In effect, it was wide open for development too.

That was all several years before iOS.

Don't forget Palm OS. Wide-open development plus free ringtones from whatever music you want (if you know the trick).
