the linux kernel. It is completely locked down. If you want to get your hands on
the system, you either have to crack it almost like a game console or buy the
"development" version. In both cases, you will loose the ability to run copy-
protected software (see http://lwn.net/Articles/321659/). I do not know how
anybody can call anything which has copy-protection built in "open" in the
first place.
If you want to see a community developed open software stack for mobile phones,
look at www.openmoko.org .
