[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 21385, member: 152"] Right. You [I]can[/I] root most Android devices and accept responsibility for anything weird/unexpected/bad afterwards, but the devices do not generally come rooted. So there is a baseline expectation of what a filesystem call, a networking routine, etc. will do on a given non-rooted Android OS. This console would throw all that out the window, because it starts life in a rooted state. The other expectation is that a person who roots their Android phone or tablet usually (hopefully!) has at least some technical savvy and knows to be somewhat careful with what s/he downloads and installs onto the device. There is no such expectation with a pre-rooted console, so I think you'll see a lot of security issues with the OUYA...assuming it even sees the light of day at all. I'm not Ryan Routon, but I think he would disagree with your estimate of the time involved. Even if it only took a day, why does that day have to be soon? Why can't it be the day after FarSight sees that the OUYA is selling well and is a good opportunity for them? [/QUOTE]
