There are at least a few of us out here that continue to hope for truly open mobile computing/communications platforms. The Apple/MS options are simply unacceptable for users who want to use the devices they bought the way they want to. At least the Android platform offers some hope for consumer freedom. Once there are better mechanisms on Android so that sensitive customer/corporate data doesn't have to end up on Google's servers, Android could become an even more viable option to the non-lemming crowd. Being able to also boot into a nice Linux distro like Debian makes it even better.
