Because you cannot change it’s ROM, Google’s Rich Miner told me. So if you want to run your own fork of the Android operating system on a cell phone, you have to get a rare developer device or become a handset producer like Motorola or HTC. That sucks! Also: The marvellous G1 is locked to T-Mobile's network in the US and doesn't work with German SIM cards.<BR/><BR/>My take: It won't take long until we see a flourishing jailbreak and unlock scene, as we already know it from the iPhone. The Android system is not really open before I can bake my own kernel for the device and use it on every network.<BR/><BR/>http://www.goebel.net/technews/2008/10/warning-android-devices-are-not-open.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
