*"Soon, you’ll need more than two hands to count the number of Android phones on the market. At this rate, it seems inevitable that the number of phones running Google’s open source operating system will eventually outnumber the number of iPhones, which run Apple’s proprietary (and closed) operating system."
*Android is using open source licensing development, whereas Apple's iPhone platform is proprietary, although it's based on Linux, but both platforms are open, i.e. you can download, install and run apps on them.
I can't believe Wired are making mistakes like that in 2009.
