I both heard the story this morning and read the article, and the intent didn't sound to me (admittedly, and obviously from participation here, as someone in the tech industry) like it was open vs closed, but more Apple's ability to immediately address issues that arise like this are a result of their closed nature, but with Android's open policy, everyone from Google to HTC|Samsung|LG to Verizon|Sprint|AT&T get to touch the code, and because of all these modifications, it will be a while for a fix if one even comes. If anything, the lack of financial incentive to fix anything was more the culprit over openness. The worst part is none of it was opinion - that's all completely true. How many phones get maybe one update after being released to the wild?
