I believe the open access remark is to contrast that with the Nook which needed to be rooted to gain access to apps. With the Vox coming with a sideloading app preinstalled, folks will not need root to be able to add apps. IMO, they took two fairly subtle shots--this one referencing the Nook, and the open remark, suggesting Amazon.
