I am sure he can argue semantics and warp it to his desired result. The simple facts are that android 2.2 will be compared to Apple OS 4.0 (iPhone,iPod,iPad). Vaporware be damned. Notice the novice never even noticed the removal of his so self-important cingular group from this part of the thread :-) I am sure he thinks that more important than the actual debate little enough playing games of semantics and will reply to this message just so he can add it back in :-) -- Thomas T.

The definition of vapor applies universally. Both are >vaporware until they ship, and "to developers" doesn't count. Wrong. Android 2.2 for Nexus One is already available for download. <http://apexnewsnetwork.com/21787/google-nexus-one-gets-android-2-2-update-upgrade/> -- Best regards, John If the iPhone is really so impressive, why do iFans keep making excuses for it?

Please review what you wrote. In no way does it logically follow the post you replied to. My question stands: What could possibly justify very, very few 3 year old i* devices being still in use? If true, that's not good for anyone, including Apple. -- Paul Miner |
