More open devices when? All we have is the Nexus One, if that's still sold today. There could have been open devices all along, yet here we are with android phones loaded with uninstallable crapware, boot loader enforcing software image signatures, "e-fuses", phones that automatically reimage themselves if "tampered" with.
why would I want them on publicly accessible IP addresses
Because they're globally unique. You'll never have a conflict of address when you start doing business with other entities with large networks or because the hotel just so happens to be using the same private addresses as a network you're trying to make a VPN connection to from your laptop.
And just because they're public addresses doesn't mean they're publicly accessible.
A good reason why those who are breaking or degrading access to it get cut off. Remember, your own machine was probably trying to give other people the exact same problem you had.
if you haven't been infected with a virus before then you haven't been on the internet long enough
And how long would "enough" be? You must mean more than 13 or 14 years. How long have you been on it?
Should car manufacturers be able to remotely turn off your car when your car starts to leak oil or freon?
Actually in some densely populated areas drivers are required to have their cars inspected regularly as a condition of registration in order to keep pollution down.
There's no good reason why uses of hardware that does involve copyright infringement should be prohibited. If it is my machine then it should obey commands from me, not anyone else.
That'd be my pictures, whatever I wrote (and didn't sign away copyright for), music I created... That's my content
Your pictures or your music are not machines capable of following instructions. My media player is, and since it is my machine it ought to follow my instructions, not yours. If I tell my machine to display your pictures on a screen that wasn't "authorized" by somebody then just that's what it ought to do.
The point is Apple actively tries to prevent that sort of freedom. They keep releasing firmware updates that block various jailbreak methods and won't just leave some simple method to accomplish that sort of thing.
Guess what Best Buy, Macy's, Banana Republic, LL Bean, Dicks Sporting Goods, or maybe you know WalMart better?, or insert your retailer of choice here are? They are all curated experiences!
They're curating their own stores, not something I own.

Wow, how generous of them. For only $99/year they'll stop getting in the way of people doing what they want with their own property.

Dev phones? Is there more than the Nexus One?
No they wouldn't. They would be quite simple: "You're running an unsupported firmware. Bye."
Going that route at least means you can possibly have a truly open phone firmware-wise... if there are any left to buy, that is.
It isn't unusable at all. I can read it just fine. Just because you can't doesn't make "unusable".

The point is to help clean up the mess he was causing.

Didn't they just buy a chip manufacturer? SPARC?

I have no idea. I didn't make the warranty. They were supposed to have figured out how to keep their promises at the time they decided to make them.
What they said they would do?
They're confused. Some android phones are open, some are not.
It takes an entire day to get a hello world running on symbian? Kinda hard to tell if you're arguing for or against symbian here...
Huh? I must have missed it too. If you find a copy, please forward it. Thanks.
I have to disagree. That car is definitely more interesting than someone playing farmville.

But that approach is much less secure than using your own laptop.

You don't need to jailbreak an android phone to use the scripting environment linked to by the other posters or run them in the background.
The point is you have to get permission from someone else to install and/or play the game, even after you bought it.
