Both Google and Apple are vying to win the "Most Open Platform" prize in the mobile computing beauty pageant, but neither deserves the blue ribbon.

Both companies make serious compromises in order to retain control of their platforms. But the emerging HTML5 standard, with a heavy dose of JavaScript, may up-end both companies' attempts to lock down apps to their respective platforms.
Ironically, it will be Google's desire for openness on the desktop that trumps and Apple's desire for control on smart phones as Apple is not an open platform.

Also after few days Android is only open after the fact. That is, the company only releases code after it is complete. Until Android is read/write open, it's no different than iOS. Open source means sharing control with the community, not show and tell.  So, how to stop Apple and Google's great web lockdown?? Do share your views on this...
