Apple ceding open-source app market to Google?

This article seems like a mishmash of a dozen different points in an attempt to get hits. However one line that stood out to me is:

The iPhone, however, is a relative wasteland for open source.

Hardly true. The best bits of open source projects for the iPhone are frameworks and tools under a BSD license, rather then full applications under something like GPL. It feels somewhat like the author is complaining that he can't always get high quality software for free, not that software isn't open source.

There's stuff like TouchJSON (or json-framework) or Three20 happen to be used in a lot of different applications. Theres also lesser used (but still incredibly useful) open source projects like Mover (transfer files between iPhones/iPods) or Flow Cover (OpenGL CoverFlow implementation).

If you want to make a game? You're in luck. There's OpenFeint (social platform of sorts), game engines like SIO2 (3D), Cocos2d (2D), OC3D (3D, based on Cocos2d), the engine behind Wolfenstien (it is open source!) and so on that are immensely helpful if they're what you're looking for.

And theres frameworks like MGTwitterEngine, RegexKit(Lite) or ASIHTTPRequest (an ObjC REST library) that work on both Mac OS X and iPhone.
