what ever that is You doubt the existence of something, yet make firm statements about it. That is an odd choice of statements (where you essentially want to have it both ways). There is an industry of pundits and mouthpieces who exist on the backs of Apple's fanbase, with John Gruber and Philip Elmer-Dewitt being two of the most obvious: They make a living essentially heralding whatever Apple does, linking to others who do the same, and deriding and belittling those who do otherwise. This does not exist for most other industries (is there even an Android equivalent to John Gruber? I mean, there are probably people trying to be, but most people don't need that confirmation of their likes so such a tactic is simply unprofitable in most other realms). Since you've turned this into some weird Android vs. iOS thing I'd like to point out that very few manufacturers, of handsets/tablets running Android, are doing well. What a rejoinder. Few handset/tablet makers running anything but iOS are doing well, aside from Samsung. Which, of course, is the topic of this discussion. No source cited so I'd just like to point out that the actual tablets were being bashed not the size. That is the revisionist history to try to make lemonade out of lemons. Only when Steve made his infamous statement Android had already (for years) had a density-independent layout structure that adapts screen elements to size (quite unlike iOS, if that contrast needs to be made). The argument was utter nonsense, and it remains nonsense.
