So yeah you can't really say the system is open just because you can hack it, void warranties, and have to jump through hoops in every step of the process just to install an "hello world" app.

Ok, I thought that you could generate an app package and import that into iTunes with the developer kit. A co-worker had me testing one of their apps before release by sending me the app file. That was several years ago though. The Siri app I have was from the app store, so that makes sense it imported just fine to a friends iTunes.
I never said their system was open. I said they open sourced some of their code and provided links to it and their open source site. I love it when words get put in to my mouth.
