      I’m hoping that my sarcasm detector is a little off and that’s why I can’t sense your sarcasm.

      Open Source? Unlike Android you’re not breaking any agreements by ‘rooting’ your phone. Palm is the only manufacturer that not only makes it easy for you to ‘root’ but openly encourages the open source and underground community.

      But alas, I guess the amount of money Google and Verizon have spent advertising is what’s really important…
