Standalone applications like OTFM file manager, for example, works fine on my arta tech 'black pearl'.

Basically you can mess with some parts but not others that are protected.
I like the Arta Tech product version, although it has some slight tilts toward the Polish market (the first link in the main menu points to a polish bookstore, I would prefer it to be easily configurable), it has apparently some nice features that are not available in other releases (cloud ...). But I don't use most of them . I would prefer to be able to pick the best of the two worlds.
