>2.2 is nice, but it's very telling that most people immediately go and download LauncherPro Most is quite an exaggeration. >But it reminds me heavily of the differences between Windows and OS X; Windows is functional but not enjoyable, OS X is both. Windows 7 is thoroughly enjoyable. I'm hardly a Microsoft booster. It's interesting that several of the apps you mentioned, highlighting the strength of the iOS platform, to me demonstrate the weakness of it: They're chrome and gloss and not much more. If I want a conversion app, the last thing I want is a giant graphical wheel, but that seems to be the way many iOS, and OSX for that matter, apps go: Take some trivial, trivial task and provide a minimal solution, but coating it with just enough chrome that people will call it "polish", while they hoard the spit-and-rub apps that they'll never actually use. I pray that that sort of interface hubris never migrates to Android, and if it leaves some people complaining about the lack of supposed polish, so be it.
