@Josh I agree to a certain extent that users don't care what the underlying OS is on their phone, but I think they understand that there are different platforms that are fundamentally incompatible with one another. And that's really what we have today - the smartphone market has quickly become a market of competing platforms rather than competing devices. Android, WinMo, OSX (iPhone), Symbian, BlackBerry, and now the Pre. So maybe the actual OS being used doesn't technically matter, but at the application level it does matter since you can't buy an iPhone app and then be able to put that same app on your Blackberry curve.
The hardware itself isn't really the defining factor anymore (with a few exceptions), instead it's becoming the platform. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
