Nokia responds to iPhone by Promoting 'Open'

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday October 1, 2007 @02:38AM from the well-isn't-that-interesting dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Nokia has responded instantly to the iPhone update-bricking fiasco by running a series of flyposter ads pointing out its own hardware and software is open. While this is to be applauded, it'd be better if companies like this opened their products because they truly believed in openness, rather than to beat the competition over the head. After all, Apple itself used open source with OS X (kernel, web browser) mainly because they knew it would irritate Microsoft. Since that initial blow, they've been a lot less eager to promote open source."

The article on the first release of OSX on Intel id from FUCKING 2006, you dumbass bastards. Apple released the source to the kernal fucking ages ago.
