As a GNU/Linux user I’m not particularly fond of locked devices. In terms of GUI, Apple raised the bar with the iPhone, but incidentally, they might also have shot themselves in the foot when it comes to sales across Europe: some countries won’t allow the sale of locked mobile phones and the iPhone costs 60% more than in the US.
A good solution to get rid of the lock and still have some software that can be upgraded from reliable repositories would be to run Android on iPhone hardware.
The Cast42 blog features the mock-up of an iTouch running Android.
