The hacker also reveals that the K5 runs on HTML5, which should make it a lot easier to come up with new apps. Epub, anyone?"

By what metric?
For the user, rooting the iPhone was pretty easy with jailbreakme.com. Go there, click the button.
Or do you mean easy for the developer? On HTC phones you basically say "Jailbreak please" and it says "OK."

When the GP said "1984 style", they were referring to the fact that Amazon actually revoked some copies of 1984 in a flash of brilliant irony.

Plug in phone. Run app. Make tea. Really the last part was the difficult step.
