Jim in order to leave Android's "walled garden" (not sure how that's remotely appropriate) you go into settings and check a box that says "Unknown Sources" which will "Allow installation of non-Market applications".<br />
<br />
Takes a few seconds.. anyone can do it. Does not require root.. re-ROMing.. anything.

Hmm, explain how you can leave the walled garden by choice on a (non-developer) Android phone without 'rooting' it first. This is semi-equivalent to a jailbreak…

<br />
I think the bigger news out of this decision is that excerpting movies (via say, DeCSS) just got legal for educational and non-commercial use.<br />

Interesting. I wonder how Apple is going to respond to this on an iOS level. Will they just continue to focus efforts on making the phone harder to jailbreak, or accept that like with DRM, people will always find a way, and take steps to eliminate the need to jailbreak (Expert option from the good ol' days, so people can opt to leave the walled garden by choice, much like Android has done?)
