I think the writer believes Honeycomb hasn't been released at all (instead of the source code not being released to the public).

- jordanroher 16y agoThe title certainly suggests that opinion. What makes no sense to me is that there WAS a huge uproar. It dominated the tech news for a day or two. "Openness withering" declared ArsTechnica[1]. Did Jim Dalrymple fall into a coma? The tech press DID have a field day with the story. As for why the mainstream media didn't have a cow over this: come on, Jim. You know why. The average consumer cares as much about Google not releasing source code as they do Apple not allowing DIVX files to play on the iPhone. I love how he says "Where are the mainstream press articles tearing Google up over this?" and links to zero articles, then two paragraphs later says "The mainstream press already had a field day with rumors that Apple was going to delay the iPad 2." and links to zero articles. Come on, Jim, you can do better.
