Oh, you academic types are sooooo picky! Yes, to be precise, I was mixing the hardware and software. My initial response was about the hardware - specifically the screen. The Droid has a nice big screen. I then morphed into a comment about the OS, lest anyone think Android is as refined as WebOS is after a much shorter time! Although, I suppose the version of Android on the Droid is younger than WebOS.
No fight!

You said "and the Droid is...a bit rough even though it's been out way longer than WebOS." The Motorola Droid was launched in early November, 2009, so it's actually 5 months _younger_ than webOS. That's why I thought you meant "Android" (the OS), since it _has_ been out way longer. Sorry...not trying to nitpick (although I am)...and not intending to stir a fight or anything.
