Comparing the Freedoms Offered By Maemo and Android

Posted by timothy on from the they-canna-take-our dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Maemo 5 and Android have received a lot of publicity lately, despite the former not even shipping yet. Both have become famous partly for using the Linux kernel, but now that we have a choice, how do we pick one? Is the issue as mundane as choosing your favorite desktop distribution, or is there a more significant difference? This article compares the two from an end user and developer perspective, emphasizing root access and ease of sharing code."

    Windows Mobile is like the two Matrix sequels or the Star Wars prequels. We pretend it doesn't exist.
