No, it's a race of open against closed.

To some degree, yes. Race where two or three platforms emerged as potential survivors: Android, iOS, and maybe, just maybe WP8+. I fail to see how you can say that iOS or WP8 is more open than Android.

Since Android tries to race against the rest of the Linux world without contributing back and collaborating - that's exactly what makes it bad and unworthy. As simple as that.

Unworthy, heh. You mean you prefer iOS? Or WP8? Really?

My own choice is the most open of the participants. And that is Android. If you don't like it - then that's your choice, as I've said, but don't pretend that "worthiness" will save your beloved Mer or webOS. Or maybe you prefer to work with 10'000 owners (if even that!) of GTA04? That, too, is possible, but I prefer to tinker with platforms which have clear future.

They don't need saving IMO. They are good on their own already.
