Android is not any more “open” than iOS is. For example, look at the hardware chip in the Droid X that checks the ROM for modifications before boot-up, or the fact that all their Android devices have “mandatory OTA updates” that are forced down their users throats, which destroy all rooting or modding work done once they install themselves in the background, without the user’s permission! Apple would never conceive of such a thing as a “mandatory update.”

[..]

Google simply does not care about their users. They’re in exactly the same position Microsoft has been in for years with desktop Windows. You aren’t their customer. Verizon and Motorola are. You’re merely an inconvenient side-effect to them. In Apple’s view, you as the customer, and your experience while using their products are everything.
