'Neither approach is inherently "better", and when it comes down to the daily business of writing code and building UIs, the experience probably isn't that different. But in terms of the big picture, that is the satisfying meaty answer that I've been looking for.'

Hmmm, I suspect that one of these two approaches is inherently better than the other - though I don't know which one is which, just that they won't be equal. We'll just have to wait and see what the market decides.

The article also seems to ignore the looming issue that phone companies will still be able to completely lock down phones with Android, so end users may not see any of the benefits of that framework at all. What good is an "open" framework/platform if you're not allowed to access it?
