What? This is the second "hack" for Android I've seen in two days. All the fandroids preach how open it is compared to the iPhone, and you still have to hack it? hmmm.
Android is open...this is an implementation of Android by a commercial company called HTC who's code is NOT open. You can, right now, go to Google and download the source code for Android and do as you wish with it. You cannot do this with HTCs IMPLEMENTATION of their code.
@Tes Though you must agree its pretty hard to keep up with android (ha!). And yes you can do what you want with it until you get sued by apple for implementing it :)
On a side note, my incredible is on backorder. So please lord let them not patch it before they send it to me. k thx lar.
@Tes Yes, I've kept up, which is why I raise the question, "why do you have to hack it?" You fandroids think google is so open and wonderful and bash Apple for being closed. And you just don't get that they're doing the same thing, taking your money in two different ways.

Keep up.

Open(ish) is closer to the mark. Open enough that you can really have some fun, but they do keep some things under wraps.
