I see your point, but for a small developer it is a royal pain. I don't have time and money to develop 2 full applications. I would rather develop 1 application and have it run on both phones. This doubles my time and cost since I have to build and test on 2 platforms. My users don't really care about "iPhoneness" with the application. They want it to perform a certain task, and have it do that task really well. Documentation will get them past any ism's.
