I agree this write up is a bit silly but if we want to define an open platform it should probably be as open as x86 PCs. Who would buy a PC that locked you out of the BIOS and only booted a digitally signed / approved open source OS? That's basically what most of these Android phones are offering. I don't think that's good enough.
