I agree with you on the open software matter. I would love to see Android ported to liseuses. An open-source alternative supporting a wide range of devices is IMO a step closer to consolidation and standardization. This situation with every manufacturer having his own in-house firmware (de facto operating system) only contributes to the general chaos.
