I was thinking more from the user's point of view - everybody uses the keyboard, and that changed a lot in Gingerbread. The joystick being removed is another user-visible point, and "deprecating" the menu button another one. > Is backwards compatibility as important in the iOS world as it is in > Android/Java? Not for Apple. When iOS 4.0 came out, at least new applications could target only 3.0 and newer iOS versions (not sure about updates to older versions). Since all iOS devices could get at least iOS 3.0, that was ok. We'll see what happens with 5.0 - but I expect to have to target at least 4.0 as the minimum version, leaving out the original iPhone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
