korbee... exactly 0 iPhone 'clones' run OSX. They run for example Windows CE. The cloning refers to the way the phone looks. The eye candy. No way, it refers to the features the phone provides. Many don't even have 3G! See this list for example.

R-R, if you look at TI, Marvel, Qualcomm, Imagination, ARM and etc you will see that even if the visible business is to sell hardware, there is also business around drivers, patents, specifications, particular implementations...
It's a complicated world and, indeed, it's changing. The push of Intel to mobile hardware is part of that change as well, since they come with a different approach.

Going back to my point (Nokia is doing a lot pushing OSS and "gets it" quite well), you see that Maemo has already links with most of these players. If you see changes in the following years have no doubt that Nokia, Maemo, Symbian and Qt had got their contribution to the process.

first off it is spelt open sauce and not open source -the sauce is obtained at low cost and used primarily to make the hardware more tasty while keeping the cost factor down-this dubious marketing stratergy is doomed because the sauce cannot keep pace with hardware development and rapid technology advancement leading to hardware using software that is defective -hardware companies escape crititism because it is after all "open sauce"

Not a criticism of Intel at all, it just seems that your comment implied that (or does "different approach" mean something else?)
