In all seriousness, they probably should have called it something other than Iris. I'm not a fan of Android these days (since my Galaxy S died on me at a really bad time), but this name will (most likely) fuel the fire of Android being a total rip of iPhone.
Of course, I might just be reading too far into the name thing. Their humor is pretty obvious.

- chugger 15y agowhy so defensive? everybody knows Android is a 2nd-rate iPhone rip off.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoAnd your last three comments were iPhone-fellatio. Cool. Thanks for the reply.
- robert_nsu 15y agoNot going into details, but yes, I was/am pretty mad at Google and Samsung. Seven months of use followed by a total loss of data left me with a negative attitude.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoYou probably should go into details. I've never, ever heard of anything remotely close to this happening with an Android device.
- mechanical_fish 15y agoFortunately for the Android brand, the bulk of the phone market doesn't read Techcrunch and will never even notice the existence of this hack, however cute its name is. The same goes for all the cheap-and-cheery Siri-ish hacks on the iOS App Store, of which I'm sure there are several.
