It's open, when they decide you can see it.
- rbarooah 16y agoSo it's not open for the people who bought Xooms then.
- zmmmmm 16y agoHas the exact code for a specific device ever been open? The way I understand it there is 'vanilla' Android which is open and then there are all the devices which, even when they stay 'vanilla', still get tweaks or at very least drivers added and are not 'open'. It sounds to me like this is just business as usual, the difference being that Google did a device specific release first for the Xoom and only now are producing the 'vanilla' branch.
- wmf 16y agoThe article gives me the impression that Honeycomb source won't be ever be released; it sounds like they're only going to release Ice Cream source.
- ceejayoz 16y agoApple's iOS is open when they decide you can see it, too.
- olivercameron 16y agoBut they don't claim that it is "open", unlike Google.
- bmorrison 16y agoOh, I guess it was Phil Shiller that tweeted: http://twitter.com/Arubin/status/27808662429# http://twitter.com/Arubin/status/27808662429#
- rbarooah 16y agoI think the point is that if you own a Xoom, that tweet is empty.
