The software on them is largely locked down, limited, or otherwise not on "open" platforms meaning that you cannot run a substantively different system on them without a lot of hacking about and different Android versions and variants don't count. There was a Gadgets Area51 proposal years ago, but it didn't survive. Maybe some variant of that would do better now... | |
