As Dennis will probably agree, there will be a number of people who couldn't care less about the OS as long as it "Just Works". Lots of Ubuntu users fall into that same category, while those more knowledgeable just stand back and nod their heads. If someone wants to gain geek cred with me using their phone, they'd better have a terminal emulator open on it running an ssh session.
On the other side of the coin, if it wasn't for Android, would anyone care about the Droid X?

I don't ssh from my phone. But, I do occasionally MUD. Do I get half-cred for telnetting to games from my phone?
I'm just baffled that people will spend up to $200 (plus additional contract fees) to buy a phone they'll use for 1-2 years to make phone calls and text people and NOTHING ELSE. Maybe they'll look at YouTube videos a half-dozen times and play some Bejeweled. That's a quite a bit of money to say you're a geek and then not bother to geek out.
