Yah, initially, Android tried to do the modular software, empower-the-user approach. Turns out the carriers really do *not* want that. And in the US, at least, the wireless carriers pretty much own things. We're not customers, we're subjects. Also, the success of the iPhone demonstrates that a lot of people don't *want* choice; they want someone else to do their thinking for them. The entire computing world is heading towards sealed, integrated boxes. I'm not saying it's impossible. Just that the odds aren't good. Personally, I'm all for it. I just don't think it will happen. -- Ben
