Clearly you have not got a clue. OS X has been open source since day one. Facetime is also open source. Apple has been a huge open source proponent for years. Make sure you get your fact straight before going off.
The only major thing apple has not open sourced is their GUI and their apps. From a computer/device security standpoint, I'm glad of it. It's a lot harder to make exploits when you do not have the code to look at.

I'm looking at it this way. Apple is forcing companies to get with the times and support new technology. Do you honestly believe that droid based OS's will not have something similar soon? If it was Samsung making this push do you think the head unit manufactures would do anything? I could care less where it starts. I just want it to start and I am glad Apple has pushed for it by making it easier for the head unit manufacturers to incorporate. To be honest this kind of integration should have happened years ago!
