However that has nothing to do with iOS vs Android. There is nothing stopping HTC, Samsung or Motorola from saying you're only allowed to sell our phones if you leave them 'pure' and allow us to update the OS as we please. If their phone is desirable enough they might even manage to get a carrier or two to agree. However as long as people are happy to buy carrier crippled phones there is no incentive for HTC, Samsung or Motorola to make such a demand.
