This is now. so for about a 10 day window, you can compare android 2.2 that only exists on one android phone to iphone 3.1.3 that exists for all iphones. however, it's very disingenuous to do so since android 2.2 is vapor for everyone other than nexus one owners, i.e., nearly all android users.

I know it's hard. your little bwain must be tiwed >> > it has not been released to consumers who bought phones *other* than >> > the nexus one and it may never be, depending on the phone and the >> >> And that doesn't matter, catch up already > > yes, it definitely matters. nearly all android owners can't upgrade and > may never be able to upgrade. Irrelevant when it comes to whether something is vapour or not.

It wasn't me who defined anything. I'm using the definition that's been around for decades. The only thing I was objecting to was a distortion of that definition. >as far as most people are concerned, 2.2 is not available yet, not even >to google i/o attendees with their htc evo! > >in any event this entire conversation is moot in a couple of weeks when >iphone os 4 ships to everyone, none of this 'soon' on the droid or 'end >of the year' with htc products. A discussion about the definition of vaporware cannot be made moot by the release of anything. Examples of vaporware will continue to exist long after OS 4 ships. -- Paul Miner
