As you might or might not know, Motorola's Android phones are ALL locked down at bootloader level, except for the Droid. Which resulted in many dissatisfied customers. Mainly because of their shoddy programming and slow updates.
They released a statement just today:
"It is our intention to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across our portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, where carriers and operators will allow it.”
LIES, here's a few reasons why:
- Tethering: In the US, tethering costs money, and the carriers earn from it
= MONEY- Carrier and partners'
= MONEY- Bootanimation: Instead of awesome bootanimations that can be changed in the kernel, they force you to stare at the carriers' or the Big M logo and make you a walking advertisement
= MONEY
In short, it all amounts to one reason: MONEY.
Prove me wrong then, release devices as fun as the Nexus series, or continue to have your PR department tortured by us Facebook users.
