I'm 99% certain that Apple will stick with a 10" for now. As usual, it will be lighter and possibly somewhat smaller. > PS2 Reading around, I'm a bit worried again about fragmentation.

I'm pretty sure Google will enable that (Apple has that, too). Now on the iPad, a lot of developers go for an iPad-only version so that they can charge you twice (once for the iPad and once for your iPhone). Since Google seems to - one way or another - encourage ad-supported apps, you may see more universal apps on Android (at least that's what they're called on iOS). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
