The tricky thing with Android is we have no way of knowing if Sony will be using a fairly stock Android distribution or if they'll have an exclusive Sony Android Market with games developed for the exclusive Sony Android Game SDK that allows for quick porting of PSP games. (but never exists on anything except a Sony Android handset) I guess we'll have to wait and see. Out of all the handset makers Sony has the most proprietary Android distribution. (which is why they're still stuck on 1.6)
- Setsuna 16y agoWhat would be really nice is when Sony develops its own OS with XBOX-WP7-Windows or iPhone-iPad-iTV like integration.
- Setsuna 16y agoNot sure why I'm being downvoted for voicing my opinion, I wasn't criticizing anyone.
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoEither way is good though. An open platform with a partially locked down game section is better than an entirely locked down platform. The simple fact that we appear to be talking about Sony basing their next Playstation brand hardware on linux would have been enough to blow minds not that long ago. Or maybe I'm just jaded by the constant highlighting of every non-"open" thing done on the Android platform as if every iPhone owner on the planet has suddenly become more extreme than RMS in their defence of software freedom. (disclosure: I own an iPhone but think Free Software is cool, useful and socially important, and RMS is usually right in most areas outside of marketing and PR tactics)
