Mozilla and Linux don't have their "teams" that are paid and set to work on a project.
Whoever wants to can join in and help with whatever he thinks he's good at - be it programming, marketing or whatever else. It results in cons mostly because these teams are full of people who want to gain experience in a major project (working for free). There's no proper analysis stage and usually no proper project management whatsoever.
Android is backed up by Google and their specialists create it like any other software. These are professionals who are paid to do it properly.
The community can do whatever they want with it as soon as Google finishes their part - that's before it gets loaded on any phone. And next important part is that Google doesn't sell that thing. People can do whatever they want with it and phone manufacturers are free to pick whichever version they want and then even modify it for themselves. Then the community can mod it even further on their phones thanks to source codes that are available. None of these could happen on a platform that wasn't open, you would have to use the final product as it was with not even slightest modifications.
The only con to Google's approach really is that people can't add their parts of code during the development, if you can even call it a con because in reality it means less fuck ups as Google hires top class IT specialists that can make the system as good as it can be. Of course anyone can send their parts of code and suggestions to Google and they might consider using them. You are also free to do any modification after Google finish their job.
Linux = amateur open, Google = professional open. That's my definition.

I just installed the new YouTube app. It's nice. I particularly like being able to watch videos in portrait mode and read comments etc at the same time. That is very cool. It also seems to run more smoothly. I'll delve deeper in the morning.
Regarding the open source debate, let's not forget that Android is BASED on Linux with Google's own development built on top. So in that respect, much of Android IS open source as it goes along, because every major Android release obviously uses the latest Linux kernels. So for that percentage, you can view the code as it's in development because you can just look at the Linux source.

i hate that llama.
its also quite good to be honest. the widget and the lock screen controls are good. but now i have to take the phone out of my pocket to skip tracks as opposed to holding the volume up/down keys (on the default android music player) to skip back and forth. but its good nevertheless, and gives us yet more choice.

Boom headshot.
Looks like Samsung may have proven themselves to the bigwigs at Google.
Rumor: Samsung will have a Google-experience phone this year – Android and Me
A Samsung "Google Experience" device would be KILLER. I hope you all know what a "Google Experience" device is...I feel like I've explained it about 5 times lol.

That sounds awesome. Although my world has been rocked after seeing that Qualcomm has the best processor out right now, and rapes everything out right now. I was lead to believe that ti's and Samsung's processors were always superior. This G2 is raping even the DX, it seems.
So normally I would be thinking, "yay, finally a phone with the best Samsung has to offer (I think that A10 is due out sometime next year, right?) but now we have to see if it beats the current Snapdragon with the Scorpion, and by how much.
