Wouldn't the fact that it runs android be something they'd be yelling from the rooftops? It's such an attractive feature, it promises the moon, they'd only sell more if they said "yes, this baby is android, ANDROID, you can hack it and add a thousand apps, this could be more fun than your phone and smaller than your ipad".

But, anything to keep the hope alive, I'm all for it. Although, I won't be for it when android dreamers are still saying that it really runs android because of the icons, even after/when/if it's proven that it doesn't.

Maybe the reps are embarrassed and uncomfortable because they are forced to admit that yes, even after all this years, sony is still crazy and keeps their device unnecessarily limited out of exclusivity.
Does anyone or the crowd ever start pressing the hosts with angry questions at these sony demos? Like, "why won't my ps3 update play sacd version 3.4, the way it did with earlier updates?!!!!!!"
Does it ever turn into some twisted version of democracy protest, consumerism-style?
