The Illusion of Open

andypeters:

“Here’s the reality of the Android situation now: if you buy an Android phone, it will most likely be locked down by your carrier, possibly also with some features disabled. Or, to use Tim Bray’s term, the reality is that most Android phones that get bought are a “curated experience”. ”

- That is exactly what I have been saying.  Sure, Apple has it’s issues but by getting an iPhone your getting an iPhone experience.  (With the exception of freaking tethering).
