A link to the discussion of Maemo Platform Security. back in february seems appropriate. I haven't tracked the project since then, but things were not looking very good for the user at that time. It seemed to be more about the traditional "don't hack the device we just sold you" sort of security...

I understand why you might jump to that conclusion. However, keep in mind that we have a Developer mode where you can do whatever you want including using your own kernel.

Consoles that allowed alternative operating systems took much of the incentive out of hacking the security subsystem of those consoles.
