you can legitimately "get root" on many Android devices these days -- you just usually have to tick a box on a disclaimer first, acknowledging that you're discarding tech support and the warranty
which is at leat partially bullshit in this country - you can't sign away your statutory rights and a company can't avoid their legal obligations just by saying "we don't want to", and that includes consumer protection rights such as statutory warranties.
On this topic, see http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-installer-application-removed-fr... Which is also rubbish IMHO. I haven't voided the warranty on my Desktop computer by installing Linux on it. Why should it matter if my computer is considerably smaller and has a touch screen instead of a keyboard/mouse?
