Prospects for an accessible and open version of Android?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

My objection to using "literally" figuratively is that we then have to 
find a new word for literally.  In the example here, "exploded" is 
enough and is figurative anyway.


I'll skip the other stuff, and take a second of amusement that this 
became a topic on a Linux list.  (Then again, computers are quite 
literal--in their numeric fashion.


Best!
