It's a tough, tough situation

It sure is and I'm guessing that only governemt action would change it. My guess is that 'open' is not really 'wide open' but only 'more open than yesterday' when/if Google does release something.

The carriers keep customers by the gadgets they offer...not their service. The iphone is an example of how an OK carrier (at&t) can get a few more people by having a cool, yet closed, gadget.
