For the rest of your criticism, Google is very clear that as time goes by the process will get more and more open. > It's our intention to move more of these parts to open development over time. From http://source.android.com/faqs.html#aosp http://source.android.com/faqs.html#aosp > Android is pandering to developers (developers, developers, developers), not open source. The latest Android 2.3 phone source code is here: http://source.android.com/source/download.html http://source.android.com/source/download.html Again: That's the latest, most up-to-date Android phone software Google has developed. I can't speak about why Honeycomb isn't open source yet, but I imagine it will be very very soon and this discussion will immediately be meaningless.
