Droid X Gets Rooted

An anonymous reader writes "The Droid X forums have posted a procedure to root the new Motorola Droid X, putting to rest Andoid fans' fears that they would never gain access to the device's secrets due to a reported eFuse that would brick the phone if certain boot files were tampered with. Rooting the phone is the first step in gaining complete control over the device."

Why support companies that pull crap like this?

Why do people support companies that treat you like a criminal? We all know Apple is a fascist company (down to selling Mussolini speeches in app store) and know to expect this shit from them, but I thought Android was about openness? In comparison, this is how you root Nokia N900: http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/rooting-n900.html

but at the end of the day we still need email clients in our pockets.

No you don't. You really aren't that important. People that ARE that important have underlings that read their email for them.

You don't NEED an email client in your pocket. And you're probably be more useful if you didn't respond to email with a twitch reaction like you were playing an FPS.

You might want an email client in your pocket because its convenient or because you think your that important, but the definition of want and need are different, you should look them up.
