You're lapsing into extreme silliness. I haven't suggested, anywhere, or to any degree, that anyone's "head needs to be busted".

The quote's been repeated in Information Week, on AndroidGuys and elsewhere. A trip to Google (remember them?) might assist you... In any case, it's pretty easy to discover Jeffrey Nelson's email address from the Verizon web site; feel free to write him and ask. You prefer the Chicago Tribune<http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-thu-eric-verizon-wireless-limay15,0,7860189.column>? They report the following (emphasis mine): But in comments e-mailed to this reporter from Verizon spokeswomen Carolyn Schamberger, the carrier said it is joining the open-source group because "of LiMo's approach to providing *a truly open Operating System that isn't simply an extension of a for-profit company's business model."* (Generally, open-source software is freely distributed and can be adapted by anyone who wants to use it.) Seems right in line with the other quote. Maybe this one's made up, too. Let me note, that as someone with (apparently) a book on Android coming out, you've got a clear bias in favor of discounting any criticism of the platform. I didn't think that was especially germane to the discussion, but if you insist on dealing with it like that, fine, have it your way. -- 鏡石 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
