As far as I'm concerned there's NO QUESTION of even considering Android or an iPhone without it being hackable.

[Seth]

@torch Care to say why?

 

[LocutusEstBorg]

Why not? Unless you're technologically retarded. It's my hardware and I want to do whatever the fuck I want with it and customize it to my liking. The only truly open platform is Windows Mobile. It's open source (at least enough of it to analyse and write low level software)
and there is NO code signing.

 

[Craig Fairfax]

Why not? Unless you're technologically retarded.

Or your phone already does what you need it to.

 

[LocutusEstBorg]

Nothing ever does, not your phone, you PC, your car, or anything else. Would you just install an OS and use it just like that without adjusting a single thing or downloading a single utility?

No, but that's not what I mean. Adjusting a setting and hacking it to do something it was never intended to do are two different things. You don't always have to hack something for it to service your needs.
