>From that article, "It's just very exciting for me as a computer geek to have a phone I 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.
