c) I find it implausible that someone would be able to point at a droid and say "oooo! lookz! A DROID! I'm going to steal it and sell it on the BLACK MARKET" when you can go get one at frickin' verizon.

If you don't want to root it, don't root it. Let us do what we wanna do.
Well some of the posts above are ignorant to the OS and gaining root.

If gaining root, is truly gaining the pwd for the "root" user or whatever it's called, it will happen.

Let's just be thankful that we don't have ssh enabled for a rick roll, like on iphone.

Again, I'm still investigating a lot, and I've been around linux systems since the 80's, and do this isht for a living, as in compiling kernels/programs.

IDE is more java based, but a native level c program with all the bells and whistles is what we need more than rooting
