So I saw from Kartu's post above. I didn't know what build of Linux Sony was using specifically, but I would still figure that finding "Android" programmers are still cheaper than finding "MontaVista Professional Edition" programmers. That was one of my original points, and I still think it holds true.

I didn't originally repeat the word "proprietary" three times over. I repeated the word "cheaper" three times over.

And I would like to state for the record that my point is an opinion (by a non-dev, no less). I know that.

I can't speak for Sony's use of it (if in fact they are using it), but BN's use of Android on the Nook has left me no worse for wear with calibre than my 950. I don't see why they would shoot themselves in the foot (subjectively speaking) ENTIRELY. But hey, you never know.

I wouldn't say THAT, at all. Kartu did kinda develop a Whole OS Extension for the Sony PRS series. I would say he more than knows his stuff.

I had PRS+ installed on my PRS-950. It's cool beans.

Just misunderstanding mixed with disagreement. Nothing more.
