After the first layer of restrictions, the cell phone carriers add their own layer. I.E., T-mobile won't allow you to download a music purchasing software that undermines the deals they already have in place.

There are other layers of restrictions too, but these 2 are probably one of the bigger ones.
That's why just because a platform is "open", doesn't mean the end user can have unrestricted access to do anything they want with the phone. When the affordable low-end Android phones come out, they will most likely be even more restricted than say the iPhone. Jailbreaking/loading a clean firmware would mitigate that, but you can be sure than both phone carriers and manufacturers are going to pressure Google to put a clamp on the "opening" of Android.]]>Nov 7th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/
Apple has not released an iPhone OS update for the purpose of stopping anyone from jailbreaking the phone, nor have they released an iPhone OS update which made it particularly hard to jailbreak again. When an iPhone jailbreak stops working, it is due to other changes Apple has made to the system for performance / feature reasons.]]>Nov 8th 2008 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 17th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/

LOL T-Mobile.]]>Nov 7th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/
TMo isn't responsible in the least respect for updating the phones - it has absolutely no way of doing so. All the updates are pushed from dedicated Google servers. When we sign up/log in to/with our gmail accounts and activated, we're 'placed' on specific servers. I have compared my G1 to someone elses, and there's proof that the servers are indeed different and that the phones aren't all pooled on 1 server. For eg, I'm on 14, his is on 10. Apparently the servers push the updates to the phones and even though it's 'random' in most respects - if I get the update, then I hypothesize that the other phones on my server would have gotten it as well....and the very isolated proof of that is over on another forum where a user posted that he'd gotten the update and posted a screenshot, and he was on the same server that I am on, and I got it on that same day as well.

So when people say LOL Tmobile and bash Tmobile etc. They're pointing at the wrong culprit (that, I AM sure about).]]>Nov 7th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/
Where do you see what server you're on.. that's really interesting and fits with the way I've seen google do tests like that (normally via your google cookie, if you erase it things change)]]>Nov 7th 2008 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Lets just leave that with that other phone shall we.]]>Nov 7th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/Nov 7th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/google-patches-up-android-jailbreak-with-rc30-update/
