Indeed. Perhaps I overestimated Google's desire to have mass adoption.
Maybe they're playing safe til they have a solid platform - I know my
opinion of Apple has been dented by buggy 2.0 software and
questionable app acceptance practices.

can play with and modify."
See this is what I mean.
Don't get me wrong for backstage and the community of developers,
geeks, hackers, etc. Its going to be great to have a phone which is
open enough to modify and change but for "consumers" what's the big
deal?
As Jim Tonge pointed out its all about marketing and google are not
doing that.
Anyway we'll find out real soon. I'm looking forward to dual booting
my HTC phone real soon.
