Android uses the Linux kernel and IOS uses Mach with some BSD. There aren't many options for a phone OS. There was a Ubuntu based phone OS but it was only ported to a handful of phones and tablets and had almost no app support, I think it's dead now. Open source Android is not a cleaned up fork, it's the pristine version that the messed up^W^Wvendor enhanced versions are created from. It is Google's code, released as open source. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <[email protected]>
